The diagram you sent me shows only one gray wire for cruise control. The other one you sent is for the 4 pin connector, which I don't know what any of those are for. I'm just looking for the 3 correct wires. 1)On/Off, 2)Set, 3)Resume/Accel. They have to be together somewhere. The other guys diagram shows only 2 wires. A gray and a pink.

When I first came in the question, I attached the 3 connectors with the wires and the identification of them and what they control.

Did you get them?

Yes, I received these. You sent 6 diagrams where 2 of them were doubles. So I got 4. After looking at that, which is why I contacted you again, is because other than the pin that says Cruise Signal (gray), I haven't the slightest clue which the other two wires I need are. No other pins in the diagrams say anything about cruise control.

I'm not a mechanic Roy. I worked Auto body all my life until I blew my back out.

No, they are not the same. The pin arrangement is different and the they are marked X1 and X2.

I'm done Roy. None of those 6 diagrams, other than a gray wire, tells me anything of which wires to use. Simple question: Which 3 do I tap into? You still haven't answered that. Have a nice evening.

It is not as easy as you think to do this.

The wires are clearly marked for what you need.

I do not know what else to tell you if you cannot locate them.

Roy, I don't mean to be disrespectful at all. This is easy as heck to do if I just know where the 3 wires are. I've seen plenty of videos on this, but unfortunately none 9n the Camaro. All one has to do is tap into these 3 wires, connect each one to one one side of a switch and the other to 12v power. Your diagrams tell me nothing. I can find all of these connectors. I sent pics of them, but if you don't tell me which 3 wires I need to tap into, I'm in the dark. There's one wire for ON/OFF, one for SET and one for RESUME/ACCEL. Your diagrams show none of this except for a gray wire for Cruise Control signal, which means what? Is that for ON/ OFF? I too just don't know what else to say or any other way to put it.

I have the 3 switches in already. One latching, two momentary. Just need the 3 correct wires.

I think the issue is you saw a video on a different vehicle. Is that correct? If so, I suspect the confusion is coming in that the system in that vehicle was wired differently then your vehicle. If you take a look at these wiring diagrams, you are not able to find any wire for RES/SET/Cancel except the cruise signal wire because that is the only wire that is used. You don't have 3 separate wires that when the button is pressed it sends a signal to the BCM. You have a signal wire that the BCM will read the voltage on this single wire and depending on what it is, it knows what button is being pressed.

If you look at what the blue arrows I added are pointing too, those are resistors in the switch. This tells us that when the cancel button is pressed it grounds the signal wire and then BCM sees a voltage signal. When one of the other buttons are pressed, it grounds the signal wire but the voltage passes through other resistors and it changes the voltage the BCM sees so it knows that a different button has been pressed.

I imagine we can trick the BCM into thinking that your buttons are the stock buttons, we just need to know what the voltage is on the signal wire at the BCM when each button is pressed. Then you tap all three of your new buttons into this signal wire but you will need to add your own resistors to each wire so that when you press your new button it gives the same voltage to the BCM so it knows what button that is supposed to be.

Hopefully that makes sense. It is not the easiest thing because I don't know what the starting voltage is (I suspect it is 5 volts) to know what size resistors you need for each button in order to cut the voltage down to match the stock buttons.

First thing to do is monitor the voltage on that wire at the BCM and press each button to find out starting voltage and then how each button effects it.

Okay, that absolutely makes sense to me. I don't know how to read wiring schematics, so I didn't know that resistors were needed for this. Thank you for helping me to understand this a little bit better. I obviously have more work to do on this.

I'm going to see if I can find an electronics pro, to see if maybe he can use the board inside of the original switches and solder new wiring to it. Then I can just hide it in the column. Thanks again for your help.
