GU Steering wheel audio controls install

[Cremulator]

Ok, thanks. Why do you splice the audio yellow wire to the cruise control green wire?
Also, on the radio side of the loom you made, is that an earth open tag that needs to be connected to ground somewhere?

From memory I spliced the audio yellow wire to the cruise control green wire as I thought the green was the cruise control earth wire, but I have a feeling that someone else has spliced it to the cruise yellow wire and it works the same, but worth testing yourself.

Yes, that's is an earth wire on the radio side of the loom with the ring terminal that needs to be connected to an earth point.

Ok, thanks. I thinks that answers all the queries I have at the moment. Now I just need to hook it up! Cheers.

Hi all,

We’re installing an aftermarket cruise control on a 2004 Nissan Patrol (GU) and have hit a snag with the clock spring connector behind the steering wheel.

We’ve safely disconnected the battery and removed the steering wheel airbag. However, the rear clock spring connector is this PXL_20260220_080739700.jpg. We understand it should have some extra locking or saftey mechanism? but we can’t work out how to release this one without risking damage.

Has anyone dealt with this style connector before? Is there a specific release method or hidden tab we might be missing?

Appreciate any guidance before we force anything and break it.

Thanks in advance.

There is a white sliding part which pulls out from the right side, which will then allow you to remove the plug.
You can see it in this photo on the right of the plug.
