Motorcraft SW5924 Cruise Control SwitchThe SW5924 cruise control switch is actually composed of both cruise control switch components for 98-up Ford Panther cars, which include the Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and possibly the Marauder and Town Car.The original cruise control switch (the OFF button to be specific) started to work intermittently after 12 years of heavy usage. I use cruise control quite often and as a result, I often push the OFF button to shut it off instead of tapping the brakes. A few days ago, I pushed the OFF button and thought it shut off, until I noticed my speed was not decreasing when the traffic ahead was slowing down. I troubleshot the system and found it was a faulty switch.These replacement switches look the same as the original ones from my 2000 Crown Vic. However, they feel different. The switches are less tactile (more silent) and felt absolutely weird the first time I used the new switches. They work the same, they just felt different to me in a good way. They still do not light up like modern steering wheel controls (even though they are still used on very late model Crown Vics), but Ford is to blame for that.Replacing the cruise control is simple in theory but absolutely requires a few essential tools. They include a quality T-50 Torx socket bit (3/8″ drive or ½” drive), a 2-jaw puller, blue threadlocker, 8mm socket, and a torque wrench.I don’t recommend doing the job yourself if you’re not comfortable with removing the airbag module. If you are intent on doing this yourself (which is an easy job to be honest), I recommend you get a copy of the factory service manual for your vehicle and that you follow all safety and warning notices in the manual. An honest time estimate is about 1-2 hours, less if you figure out where and how to use the puller properly.Overall: 5/5 stars, direct-fit/drop-in replacement for the factory cruise control switches on the later model Ford Panther cars. They feel less tactile and more silent than the original switches. I hope these last at least 12 years like the originals.

I ordered a switch for an 06 crown vic p71, not sure what I have here but it is not for my vehicle. Also I do not have return info so it sits here and I am out $$$$$, not happy about it at all.

Unit delivered on time and as represented. Steering wheel has to be removed with a two hook tool ( which was not in my steering wheel remover kit) after removing airbag. After steering wheel removal the unit was easy to install. Cruise is now working correctly, just like new. I recommend watching Utube videos on how to remove, install steering wheel and switch, probably not for a first timer, but will save a lot of money if done correctly.

I got the SW5924 thinking I could cut the wires and splice it into the SW5925. Don’t try that. It won’t work.
Customer –
Units work like new ones. Had no trouble disassembling them for installation and they’ve been reliable thus far.
