Anti-Theft Idea
I had an idea, wiring up the wire from the start circuit on the ignition (the line to the starter relay) to the cruise control on/off switch so as to prevent the car from starting when the cruise control switch is in the off position. Could anyone tell me if there would be any problem with doing that, and if there aren't any problems could someone maybe scan some wiring diagrams so I could do this??? Any other thoughts on this idea??? Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.

With electrical, anything is possible. You are basically just turning the cruise control into a switch. Depends how you wire it though. What happens if you accidently put the cruise control back to "on" when driving and the car shuts off? Depends, I am going to assume you want to make it a kill switch so that is what would happen. Be better just to do a seperate kill switch rather than mess with something like that. That'* my take.

ok, first of all, the only thing in the car that takes 5 volts are the sensor reference voltages. it still takes 12 volts to fire the relay. they take the same voltage as the starter feed , just not the amps. have you ever seen the wiring in a cruise switch. they are smaller in diamter than the wires in a phone line. and i also thin that the wires to the start relay is like 14 gauge, maybe 16 but i dont think so.
i just dont want you to burn up a cruise switch and then not beable to start your car, plus the cruise switcher arent cheap to replace
