How to Install Cruise Control on a Fiat Ducato 244 2.8 JTD

Model: Fiat Ducato MK 2 - Years 1993-2016
Part: Instrument cluster

To carry out this operation, in addition to having good manual skills regarding the electrical part, you need to purchase the cruise control stalk from an Alfa Romeo 147 or 159: it can be found for £65.00 on eBay (+ £10.00 delivery) and the brake pedal switch from a Fiat Panda with 4 pins costing £17.99 on eBay, with free delivery. You need to remove the dashboard, which in the video is shown from underneath. Once the fuse panel cover is removed, unscrew the two internal screws and the side screw, then one underneath, another that is not visible under the lever that releases the front bonnet, and one under the steering wheel tilt lever. Remove the panel. Identify the connector where you will need to work with the red, white, and black wires. Also remove the steering wheel cover, and the video clearly shows the colours of the various wires, providing a very clear diagram of the various connections, which you can join with a simple connector. Remove the passenger side of the dashboard as well. Make the necessary connections and reassemble this part of the dashboard. Check the brake switch to see if it is a two-pin or four-pin; if there are 4 wires, it is a 4-pin. You will see the stalk already positioned, then you will need to shape the steering wheel cover to fit it. Now all that is left is to close everything up following the reverse action. These vehicles were already pre-equipped, so there is already a warning light on the dashboard that activates automatically.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
