Cruise control button relocation question...
I would like to relocate my cruise control buttons onto the dash so that I can replace my cheesy factory steering wheel with a nice custom unit. I realize I'll be losing my airbag mounted in the current cheese-mo-wheel, but I am willing to do that in order to install a wheel with a much better feel to it. Mine is shot and the covers don't work for me. Anybody make this mod? Any ideas, tips about wiring, etc would be greatly appreciated.

I relocated mine....
It fell off I used it so much
Seriously.... still works, but the rocker button mount broke and it fell on the floor board !
Heard Lincoln Navigator or Aviator wheels will fit....
U might take a few moments to do a search for that on the forum.... seems like I recall some threads... good luck....

Sorry to offer a negative response, but I would advise aganist this.
Reason: The cruise control works off the clock spring in the steering column.
As others have noted a Navigator steering wheel will work and they look pretty darn good also you don't loose your air bag.

Cruise Control Switch Relocate Problems
I’m just wondering if anyone can help me, I have an 89 F-150 I’m guessing it’s very similar and I’ve tried what you have suggested but it’s still not working. I’m really struggling here and desperately need some help, I am attempting to relocate my cruise control I have tried numerous times and I swear I have everything wired correctly but it’s not working, when I hit the cruise off button the horn sounds and the cruise will not work, I’ve done extensive searching on forums but I cannot find the answer, I have read people having the problem and what they did to fix it so I’ve tried those fixes but still with the same results. I tapped the yellow wire at the connector below the steering column and ran it to the two yellow wires on the cruise control switches. I tapped the purple wire at the connector and ran it to the purple wire on the cruise control switch as well as one end of the horn pad. I tapped the black wire at the connector and ran it to both black wires on the cruise control switches and another wire to the other horn pad. I swear this is how it was connected at the start and how I have read to connect it but yet no results. Please please please help me!
