the below link is from another post, along with info on hooking up cruise control to an aftermarket switch. A little playing with your switch to learn which wires do what, & you should be in business. Hope this helps ya.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...questions.html

"Rostra Precision Controls" cruise control part # 250-3593. The following is based on my Speartech wire harness for a 2004 GMC p/u. John already had the cruise wires identified on the harness.
green wire from switch attaches to blue wire on harness (set)
yellow (resume/accell) to white wire on harness
brown (on/off) to grey wire on harness
red to 12V. (switched) with a 4 amp fuse
black to ground
pink (don't use)
blue (don't use).
The switch was about 35.00 from XXXX (am not sure if its OK to post the name & #). I can provide this info. but don't want to get in trouble. I talked to fellow at Rostra & he spit out the wiring info. faster than I could write. They were happy to help, & provided a distributers name & # on where to buy the switch.

Thanks,Larry
I connected my switch to the c100 connector but it didn't work.
On my switch I have blue to +12
green to gray on/off
red to blue set
yellow to gray/black resume
I have verified that I have 12 volts going to the c100 connector at each of the wires when using the switch.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Ok, I didn't have the CMHSL connection.Wired it thru my tail lights works now.

I've used both and they are each just as easy as the other. You can tune the DBW for excellent driveability and throttle response. G
