I was setting the cruise last weekend and because it's cold here in Michigan, the cruise's plastic buttons are naturally less pliable than in summer. So as I always do I was careful about not pushing it to the extreme to break the little arms that attach it to the wheel, but apparently DID push it to the extreme and the pieces snapped. The wires are still connected so there are no issues with the cruise functions.
Now I don't know the technical terms from this point on, so bare with me. I can see the other part of the 2 arms that broke from the controls are still fixed by screws underneath the steering wheel's horn/airbag cover (simply the place where you'd lay on the horn at another ####### driver). I don't know how to access it though. I'm fearing that the only way would be the same procedure used to remove the airbag, but THAT I don't even know how to do nor want to do since unintentionally tampering with the airbag could be terrible.
In the attached picture, I'm just pushing the control in such away to show that it's disconnected from where it used to be attached. If you need any more pics, just ask.
So, any ideas or previous experience with something like this?
