Cruise control controls
The controls for my cruise on the steering wheel of my '97 Explorer have snapped off and are hanging only by the wiring connections. My question is can I just super glue the controls back on to their plastic mounts or would that interfere with the air bag deployment? I'm sure it won't, but before I was going to do it my wife asked the question about the air bag and now I keep hearing that question in the back of my head!!!

I replaced mine a last month its simple an takes about 30 minutes.
1. Disconnect the battery and wait 5 minutes for the air bag system to disarm.
2. There are two round plugs on each side of the steering wheel. Pop them out with a flathead screwdriver.
3. Remove the two bolts use 1/4 in or 9mm socket (I Think?). This will allow you to remove the airbags.
4. Carefully remove the airbag and disconnect the sensor wire.
5. Remove the 4 screws from the 2 control switches, disconnect the control wires and remove the switches.
6. To install the new controls just reverse the removal process.
I purchased the control switches from www.rockauto.com for $35.00.

The day that I installed mine my wife was on her way home from work she called from her cell phone at 5:40pm just as I was about to start, she arrived home at 6:00pm just as I was finishing the job.
