My 91' XLT lost its buttons!...One of the buttons on my cruise control option feel off my steering wheel?...do they sell those buttons at dealerships or do I have to get a new steering wheel!? :-P

P.S. And how much will the buttons cost?

Thanks in advance...Mud
 






If you still have the old button you can salvage it. My '91 did the same thing when it was young @ 90K miles. I took the horn button off the wheel, unscrewed the cruise buttons and then gently took the switch apart. This was almost 3 yrs ago so I can't remember exactly how the switch was held together, it think it was snapped together. Anyway once into the switch I replaced the button and taped it down so it was depressed. Then take a tooth pick and put a dob of super glue on the end of the finger that sticks out inside the switch but only put glue on the sides, allow to dry over night and then carve off extra with a razor blade. Cut off enough so that the button can move back and forth it's original distance then reassemble the whole mess.

Mines been working 5 days a week for the last 60K miles. Hope this helps, limited fundage is most times the mother of invention. ;)
