Same for '7?-04 at least, because the cruise amplifier (module) didn't change from '80-92 (it crossed the line of the '91 body change).  So the '92-up wheel works with both the older & newer cruise amps, which means the resistors have to be the same.  The resistances are probably the same for all Ford/L/M cruise buttons.

Thank you Steve,
great information as always.

After two years of vacillating on this project I finally found a donor that will work.
I found a low mileage 1982 f250 extended cab with a 300 and 4 speed. Rusted out so reasonable price.
I will start a new thread and show pictures as I proceed through the transplant.
I love the 300 with a 4 speed behind it and I am finally excited about this project again.
The fact that it is also extended cab means I can just switch the entire drivetrain over.
I have been looking for a donor like this for over three years and had pretty much given up on the project.
So great day, very happy.
