Eat. Sleep. Lift.
Looks like the software won't let me edit that post.
Took the truck to the above named Ford dealer. Just about 2-1/2 hours later...Cruise control works...AND they installed a set of "nerf bars" to make it easier for my short wife to get in/out of the truck.
Thanks to the community for passing on the information about enabling cruise. MUCH nicer than an add-on kit.

Cruise
Hi All
This proves the power of this and other forums. I have just installed and had programed cruise control as per this thread.
My truck is a bare bones 07 XL long bed V6 5 speed. I bought it just last year with 15 k KM on it. Absolutely mint. But I did not like no Cruise. At first I asked the dealer and they wanted to change the whole steering wheel for $550 +++. The next option was aftermarket and a stock thing on the column by the turn signal stalk. But I saw this thread on putting the switches in the steering wheel and hit pay dirt.
I ordered the switches at the Ford dealer $147.00 Cdn. I installed as per instructions and beer, on this forum and had the program change done at Ford for $30. And it works. I could not be happier with it.
Thank You, Thank You , Thank You !!!! to the original poster.
As a side note, The service desk did not know anything about doing this and seemed not to care, the Mechanic /Tech, however was keen on dong this with his laptop and reprogram the ECM and learning.
Thanks again Ernie

Hey guys. I have a 2007 XL without cruise. I bought some switches on eBay and when I opened them up, they did not come with the wires coming out the back as they were supposed to. However I bought them for only $49 and was wondering if anyone knew a way I could get those? The pics are of what I purchased. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, you're likely stuck with buying a new set of switches that have the wiring harness attached.
