Cruise Control not working

I went through the diagnosis procedure and I think I traced the problem to the steering wheel switches.
In reading the service manual it states that the battery and air bag backup power supply needs to be disconnected before removing the air bag.
I can't fine where the backup power supply is located. Any one know? Any others out there with bad speed conrtol switches?

Thanks for your help.

Just replied to saiters post "cruise". Yours is similar. When I replaced my clockspring I just unplugged the airbag connector in the steering column after lifting it out.

Your cruise control problem could be related to a bad "clock spring also. While you have it apart, you might want to do a continuity check on it also.

Before you disconnect your air bag, disconnect the battery, and wait 10-15 mins before disconnecting the connector to the air bag.
