For anyone whos thinking of trying this i got some bad news......it wont work. At least it didnt for me.




I tried making the changes, but anytime i changed the left button config to anything but Ford ACC Stop and go (#19) it would be completely unresponsive.




It was a good try but i guess im stuck with the current setup.

One member, some time back made a suggestion about this issue. I refuse to call it a problem because when switches are relocated, it is not a problem! Just a relearning issue. The 'solution' the member came up with was to get some of the soft clear silicone bumpers that are used for many reasons and stick one on the button that you are having a problem identifying. Add to the scenario that the cancel button was a longer reach from normal hand positioning on the steering wheel, and I was doing too much taking my eyes off the road ahead of me. I had an XLT for a while and since I came directly from an Explorer, I too often had to visually look for the cancel button, rather than just reach for it. The silicone bumper made the search easier, particularly in low light conditions. I now have a vehicle with ACC, that I don't care for, but I can reach the cancel button more readily. I still put a silicone bumper on it. They can be found on ebay, and other places I am sure.

Relearning, or being retrained is one of the most difficult things for us all to do. Anyone with management training will attest to the fact that change is always an issue, occasionally insurmountable.

You are correct. It's not a problem but an inconvience in retraining muscle memory.

Basically would press the on and set buttons the same time since they were right on top of eachother.
Now it's a bit more of a task to press on then move over to press set (which never seems to take the first couple presses. )


I don't quite understand the need for the cancel button. Seems pretty redundant if off serves the same function.

Ideally if I could just always have the cruise turned on I would prefer that. Then you only need to hit set.

Off does not serve the same purpose as cancel. Cancel stops cruise while retaining settings so you can resume at a later time. Off turns cruise off and no settings are retained. I use cancel all the time instead of hitting the break.

Ford was late to the party with a cancel function. I had a '99 Nissan Frontier with that function. I liked it. Always hated to light up the brake lights just to cancel the cruise. Sort of sends an incorrect message to the car behind you. I did wire in a switch that I used to cancel the cruise on a few vehicles. Simple, just splice into the brake pedal cruise cancel wire. Worked great, the only problem being finding a good spot for the switch.

You'll get used to it. I traded my 15 F150 in on a 19 Tacoma and the radio control buttons on the wheel are so infuriating. Up and down changes the track and side to side does the volume. I made the change back on June 1st and I'm finally used to the new (dumb) layout.
