Question:

1996 Explorer Does anybody have any info/tips on R&R of the cruise control switches located on the steering wheel? Anything to look out for, such as air bag, etc? thanks

Response:

It’s easy to remove the Cruise control switches. 1st disconnect the battery to prevent the airbags from accidently deploying. Next the airbag is bolted to the steering wheel by two 8mm bolt on either side of the wheel. You’ll access the bolt from under the steering wheel. Unbolt both bolts and move the airbag casing out of the way. You’ll notice the Cruise Control switches are SCREWED into the steering wheel by two screws. Unscrew the switches, disconnect the electrical connections and pronto.. U R finish. Replace the switch and as they say, installing is the opposite of removing.. TIME.. 5 mins TOPS!!! GOODLUCK… PS.. get a switch from the Junkyard….Sorry.. SALVAGE Yard!!!  :-)
