I have a 96 ranger,

I am swapping to an 05 steering wheel and want to maintain the cruise control buttons and not trip the air bag light.

My questions are:

I'm pretty sure the clockspring in the 96 has 5 pins and the 05 cruise controls are 6 pin.

1. Can I swap the 05 year clockspring directly onto my 96 (From pictures of the two clock springs it looks like they use the same (or similar) body harness clips

The 96 clock spring obviously doesn't have the correct plug for the air bag.

2. If possible to swap the clockspring will that be good enough to fix airbag light or should I just jump the air bag harness with a resistor to turn the light off?
