Has anyone ever replaced the steering wheel cruise control lights (On/Off) on a '98 Explorer? I was able to open the housing for the On/Off switch, but I don't see any lights. I assume they must be diodes.
Thanks!

They are in a little blue housing piece, you twist it and it comes out.
I hear the bulbs are only available if you get new control switches, $50 for both sides (together).
Go to your local dealer and pick up two bulbs (one for each side), part # E5RY-13466-BA. If you can't find them in stock locally, I got mine from
Hi,
Thanks for the info. I was able to locate some bulbs using your(Ford) part number. Quit a variance in price. The dealer that had them in stock was the cheapest a $2 each. The original blue cap(Plastic) wasn't on the new bulb. I managed to remove the blue cover from original and it seems to be ok. Any suggestions for cover replacement cause I doubt I could get another refitting out of the original.
Thanks again for your input.

No, I reused my blue cover from my old bulb as well. It got a small rip in it when I removed it from the original bulb, but it still went on the new bulb fine. With the small tear in it, it can be removed pretty easily now so the next time I have to replace my bulbs I don't anticipate any problems.
