I need to disconnect the cruise control cable from the accelerator pedal cluster to fit the carpet, but I'm not sure how the cable disconnects from the cluster.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am replacing the carpet in my '99 996. I need to disconnect the cruise control cable from the accelerator pedal cluster to fit the carpet, but I'm not sure how the cable disconnects from the cluster. I see a junction with a knurled plastic piece that I can twist, but not sure how they are connected. Any advice on how to separate the cable? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Is your '99 a C2 or C4? C4 is e-gas (electronic throttle); C2 is a physical cable.

POST 3Original post

Why disconnect the cable? The whole accelerator pedal comes out with one screw and a push upwards.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a '99, so it is the last analog 911! There is one cable that goes to the engine that runs under that carpet, but the cable from the cruise control unit runs over the carpet. I figured out how it comes apart (looked at the part on ebay), so was able to install the carpet. Thanks.
