Cruise control buttons. What is the difference between part number SW5928 and SW5919?

[merace19]

Cruise control switches. there is a big difference in price. But they look the same. Just have not seen the 5928s wire connection point to verify its the same as a 5919. The 5928 works on almost every application that I was told was a perfect match to my 97 Explorer. I was told "THIS SHOULD FIT 1995-2003 RANGERS AND 1995-2001 EXPLORERS". Since its a electrical part the Parts Store will not take it back once I order it. I have tried all local pick a parts and no luck finding a used one.

Someone said it may be that the interior light inside the switch is a different color..

That very well may be. Seems like a stupid thing to make such a big difference in price.

Well I bought the cheaper SW5928 switch.. Going to put it on in a few hours.

Good luck. Let me know what happens. I'm curious how it turns out.

Works perfect. Only difference is the 97 had BLUE lights in the switch and the newer switch has green.... Saved me some bucks...

That's awesome. I didn't think they physically looked any different. Thanks for the very useful information.
