Not sure if this is where I should post this but here goes. One of the cruise control switches (left) is hanging off my steering wheel and while I’m not very mechanically inclined I’m thinking I should be able to install a new one.
So I bought a set off of Amazon and read if your existing ribbon wire is ok then just use the new switches for a simple plug & play. I’ve watched a lot of videos to see how you install these and it doesn’t look hard to do.
My question is there a trick removing the existing factory plug from the switch? On most videos guys were just using needle nose pliers and forcefully removing the plug but one guy said it had clips on the sides and you needed to squeeze and remove at the same time. Don’t want to mess up the plug and have to install the new ribbon wires.
