Did I just mess up my cruise control switch?

So I am spending the weekend doing some of the small interior repairs. One of the main ones is my cruise control switches. The ones in the truck are missing the face plates so a very nice member here sent me some.

Well I was looking on a post on how to replace the switch and was having a real time trying to figure out how to get the old harnesses off. To first one once I got it off (thanks to the help of a butter knife) went flying across the room. Well I went to look at the switch (right hand switch RSM, Set Accel, Coast) there is a pin missing, #2 pin I think. I looked on the floor and I don't see a pin and I looked in the harness and I don't see a pin. Is one suppose to be there?

I don't use cruise very much. I really just wanted it to look complete and if they work fine. But if it is missing a pin will it screw something up if I plug the harness into it.

Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance.
 






This might help. Doesn't have pin numbers on it but it looks to me like the switch itself only has 3 wires on it. Could you post some pictures?

I don't know what picture you wanted but here is a picture of the switch itself with the harness off:

The missing pin is where the resume button. I was reading a post that said pin 2 was not in use I guess is how I understood it.

Oh and the picture you posted is like greek to me, I don't understand those things at all.
 






I just found one in my son's collection and it looks just the way your photo shows. 1 pin an empty pin then 5 more pins. So it looks like yours should be ok.:thumbsup: I've never replaced one but he has done several. Hope this helps.:salute:
