  A: The first step for replacing the cruise control switch starts with removing the steering wheel inflatable restraint module. Separate the cruise control switch electrical connector from its attachment point on the steering wheel inflatable restraint module coil. Use a terminal remover from the Terminal Repair Kit (J 38125-B) to open the Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) on the cruise control switch electrical connector's top. V68.8 as a terminal remover from the J38125-B kit removes the red/blue wire from the cruise control switch electrical connector . First remove right horn contact bolts using an allen head socket and then separate the right horn contact from its position on the steering wheel. First detach the switch's three screws then extract both the switch and cruise control from the vehicle. Installation begins with placing the cruise control switch into the vehicle before securing it with three screws. Secure the right horn contact back onto the steering wheel through two allen head bolts which need twisting to 8.8 N.m (78 lb in).
