Sorry for the silly question was just wondering what it was.

Thanks

Hmm, I think my 99 A4 has two cables one of which is the throttle, and the other one is for cruise. So don't really have an answer for you, but mine also has 2 cables.

The throttle cable on f-bodies with traction control goes to the TCS module and then to the throttle body. The cruise control cable goes directly to the traction control module on the passenger-side fender well.

The cruise control cable and throttle cable both go directly to the throttle body on f-bodies without traction control.

Truth.

Cliffs notes:
Traction control cars have one cable going to the TB
Non-TC cars have two
