I have a problem and I don´t know how to solve it:

I need to adapt a OEM cruise control switch for my car. The switch only have 2 wires and is resistor signal based, every switch function (on, set, resume, cancel) produces a different resistance signal.

On the other hand, i have a cruise control unit which works with a traditioonal open/close switch with 4 wires for the same functions.

How can I change from resistor type signals to open close? I would like to use an original switch on my car and not an aftermarket, which would be easier of course, but it´s not the same. Modify the original switch is not an option because I can´t add more wires through the clock spring in the steering wheel.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks

Ralf
