Hi there, I am new to the forum and have been a Soarer owner for about a year now, and I LOVE IT! best thing I ever did was buy my car. I'll start off by saying this site is the bees knees, it has taught me so much and helped me through quite a bit, I just finished replacing the capacitors and transistor in my dash and now I constantly have the ECT in red on my dash and am not sure what to do about it . My car was a swap to manual and I've been reading that it is a gearbox issue, my cruise control does not work as well. I've searched the forums high and low and haven't come across anybody solving this issue so I figured I would post something on here and maybe get some advice or pointed in the right direction, any help would be greatly appreciated

found this
the auto ecu needs speed signals from sensors, find the neutral safety switch input into the auto ecu and apply 12v the wire. tells the auto ecu it's in neuters. ecu needs to see the auto gear lever at either P R N which turns the sol1 to ON in the auto. with both solenoids at OFF (manual conversion) O/D light will flash.
the O/D on off switch wire also needs to see O/D as off
alternatively if its not affecting your engines running characteristics you can just cut the O/D OFF light wire.
in the passenger side kick panel there is the ECU that should control the cruise control. if the car is now manual, and you still have the steering wheel in it / cruise control stalk/buttons. Then open up your passenger side kick panel and find the cruise ECU ,
Disconnect the 12 - 20 wire plug that goes into it, find the BLACK with WHITE STRIPE wire. Cut it . put the plug back into the cruise control ECU. And you cruise will now work .
When engaged, as Hamgatan said, to stop it , tap the brake, the "stop" fuction works with the push button for the tail lights located on the brake pedal.
