When I told him these were better than the originals (he has had it since new), he said they really looked good. I think these will prove to be more flexible in the long run. I needed some new ones since mine dried up and cracked. I think it was worth it even if they only lasted for a few years considering they didn't It was also told to him several years ago that it would cost $300 to replace it. The process of replacing these takes less than 30 minutes and requires very little skill. There is a video on YouTube that shows the process.
It helped to see how to remove old buttons and how to install new buttons and wiring in the youtube video. The airbag/horn will need to be reinstalled after some further discussion. There are more steps to making a snowmobile snowmobile than simply installing it and tightening its sides. In the event that a battery is connected, the horn will be continuously on. The horn and airbag should be lifted as high as possible, yet the side screws should still be able to be inserted.
Unless the wiring harness was installed I was able to remove the switches. Without the right puller, I could not remove the steering wheel. Although I had connectors from the original wiring harness that worked with these switches, there was no locking mechanism (just the pins held them), so I don't know if they will vibrate out of place.
There were broken toggles on the Cruise Control when I bought the Ford Ranger 2003. I found the installation to be more challenging than anticipated. My problem was solved by watching a few install videos. Removing and reinstalling the air bag should be handled with caution. This note applies It was necessary to obtain a steering wheel puller from Advance Auto through their loans program in order to remove the steering wheel. A search for a puller down added to the installation time. It took 1 1/2 hours to get a You want to pay attention to Harness Routing so that you don't chafe your Driving is much better with the steering wheel looking better and all of the controls working properly.
We bought these to put on our Ford Ranger. It was very easy to install and they are very well made. There is a clear set of instructions included with them. They're really good at their job. A lot of attention was paid to how they made it look. For the amount of money I paid, I think they are worth it.
The part I purchased from Ford cost me substantially more than what I paid for it from Ford. It was installed and is working perfectly and I am very satisfied with the price. From a manufacturing perspective, I would say paying more attention to the location of the micro switch inside of the control would be beneficial. There was a problem with the previous one because the button was not where it should have been, and the same still stands for this one, except it has a different Previously, the old one was on the resume switch, while the new one is on. It is not in the middle of the pad where the button is located under the cover. I could face a similar problem in the future.
The price of this product initially seemed to be very appealing. Unlike the originals, these have a nice look, a good feel, and fit as well. In spite of this, the cruise control no longer disables when the brake pedal or clutch pedal is depressed. It is extremely dangerous to use cruise control once it has been installed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU You can buy a better quality item by spending a bit more.
It is easy to install. I like this switch a lot. I was able to easily install it on a 2000 Ford Ranger in 15/20 minutes, looks just like the original part, but at a fraction of the cost. A new switch was on its way after I sent an email requesting a replacement for a switch that was having trouble. The people at this company are fantastic to work They will be my first choice in the future.
