Electrical help needed, 83 waggy - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Guys, I have a cruise control from a 83 Waggy. I am going to try to mate it to my 91 YJ. I have almost all the parts (I am missing the column switch) I have the speed sensor (inline on the spedo cable. The 2 pin blue plug is for the speed sensor) But I could use some help on the wiring.

4 pin plug (to the control lever - looks like a strobe light plug)

Red w/white (#1) <-- 12+ to cruise switch?
Brown (#2) \\
Green (#3) <<-- control inputs?
Yellow (#4) //

2 wire plug (much like a CJ front turn/park lamp plug)

Red w/white <-- feed for 12+ @ control lever?? (see pin #1)
Pink <-- ??? can't be another power wire, but pink for ground??

Brown wire w/white <-- this has a special red plug that is made only to plug into a fuse box 12+ I think this is the main power supply for the unit.

There is also a green wire with a broken terminal (with corosion) at the control head (engine bay) which I am sure is the unit & harness ground as there is no dash grounds

Sooo.. there you have it. I would love any input anyone has, and if any one has a turn switch (Chief??) I would love to buy it to test this unit. I will be using a YJ or XJ switch and just use a new 4 pin connector, but a "tset switch maybe with the proper color code would be sweet. Anyone have access to wire diagrams this old? Anyone have one of these FSJ's at home to do a little testing for me??? Thanks guys!!

Well, with a lot of digging I think I found an old scaned digram. (I had to re-write the schematic because it was soo poor I had to blow the photo up big. But now my question sits at the VSS. I have the one for the truck, but I also know my 90-92 VSS is set for 8000 ppm. Is there anyone who has a way to figure out what the ppm is for the 83 Waggy sensor?? It would be very cool to just tapp off my existing VSS and go with that one (the wire is the same color

) If I can not use my VSS, the one I have is in-line between 2 cables and one end is a large end. I would have to have a new end put on my speedo cable. (not the end of the world, but..) Also, what would happen if the PPM was say 2000 or even 4000 ?? how much would it effect it? I assume it will not harm it, Maybe I could just "try it" I only have $15.00 into the set-up so far..
