You can disconnect the cable, it's kind of a PITA but it would be a lot better than just cutting it.

i think he is talking about the cold start assist, the cruise control is on the drivers side.

Do you guys mean the hot start assist, or the sub-zero assist?

Hot start assist is on the drivers' side; sub-zero (some cars only) is a tank of fluid on the psg side.

Pic looks like a cruise control to me, but I never had that option.

mmm... not so sure about other models, but my 85 GSL cruise was on the passenger side right up against the firewall above cold start assist or w/e bottle
