Thanks!What is the cruise controls beside a steering wheel on a 1999 Ford Explorer called?New switch pods are available from Ford, %26amp; the cost depends on weather your have the stereo controls in the switch pod along with the cruzz. The pods are held into the rubber steering wheel cover by just the rubber itself, no other fasteners. Take a pocket knife, slip it between the pod %26amp; the rubber, and slowly pry the pod out. I got new pods for my '02 Merc, with the stereo controls in the pod, for about $120 directly from Ford. I replaced the original pods with the new ones in the Ford parking lot.What is the cruise controls beside a steering wheel on a 1999 Ford Explorer called?cheack out: www.ExplorerForum.com



You will find all you need there. Many people have replaced this and there are write-ups on there. Some people have even put some LED's in the switches. Pretty cool stuff.
