1999 Ford Ranger Steering Wheel Cruise Control Switch

[@nunyabznz3029]

DONE! The buttons have been cracked, broken, and icky for years and I was able to defeat my fear of breaking things after watching this. I'm at 300k now.

[@donl4635]

Very helpful! I found that if you break away some of the plastic on the old switch you can easily access the connector and pry it loss with a small screw driver without risking damaging the connector or wiring.

Got the new switches on ebay for $25. Took 5 minutes to swap out. Thanks for the video.

[@taggerinc2652]

Thanks for this. I'm selling mine and I wasn't going to bother replacing these just to get rid of it but it's easier than I thought it would be so now I will.

[@FairyGrove]

Thank you! A different video I watched they said to take the whole steering wheel off. This was so much easier!

[@dennishayes65]

Thank you for the video. Much easier when seen done before doing.

[@susanroxandich4563]

Would suggest to never be seated in front of airbag when you first reconnect battery and restart. Nice video & easy to follow.

Excellent video, thank you very much!!

[@paularcher4607]

Of course I had to look at 20 vehicles but I found a perfect set at my local junkyard for $5.50.

[@kenclarke4906]

I was taught, if it Don't fit force it, and if it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

Very helpful

Cheers mate.. easy once you know how!

[@ronsnow8342]

Why remove the positive battery terminal? Most people recommend removing the negative terminal. Does it really even matter which one is removed?

[@dinotexas6407]

For static electricity, your body is negative.

[@ralphderkapitaen9875]

@@dinotexas6407 negative should be removed first. Positive can stay on....

[@ajfmusical]

Battery disconnect should be Negative Terminal instead of Pos....

[@tommymcdonough9476]

Are they supposed to light up?

[@Pop_Hockenbush]

Why do you turn everything on including the lights ?

[@snakeqba]

Thank u for video

[@aussieguy2101]

Great mate.....

[@TaylorJonesDrums]

Do you still happen to have the harness you didn't use?

[@jacobmedina9011]

Some videos say disconnect the positive and some say disconnect the negative. Can I just disconnect the whole battery to be safe?

[@GreatWhiteRodeo]

Yes, but it's really the negative. Nothing electrical works without a ground.

The BEST way is remove BOTH. The air bag is basically a BOMB. I want NOTHING connected to it.

[@robertyearian227]

Will this work on the 2002 for edge same thing

[@Andres-kg8cp]

whats that little knob under the signal indicator? on the left of steering wheel

[@nomad1761]

It's for tilting the steering wheel

[@rodrigobsk]

Friend, good day, I find these pieces in the U.S. I'm from Brazil and I have relatives living in the U.S., I wanted to import this wheel and the instrument panel.

[@bobbyocasey403]

I ordered the new switches from my Ford dealer but the replacement switches come with the wiring harness pre-installed. You cannot just unplug the old ones and plug in the new ones. You must replace the entire harness. I don't know if I'm expert enough to get into that.

[@oscaroscuro]

Yea, the new buttons I ordered could not be removed from the harness they came with. Bummer.

[@billskiver8554]

does that harness unplug from the switches on all years? my 03 looks like the whole harness needs to come out

[@kentbarker4748]

$50 or $60 bucks. i got my set on e-bay for $20

[@Burbuja254]

Mechanic ! How do you put up with the parrot that doesn't let you work in peace? tell him something or tell him to shut up, how annoying the owner is

[@erikcarmichael3300]

Hmm mine only cost $20
