I have a 97 dakota 4x4 with a broken cruise control switch..any suggestions on where to get one?

 

I have not searched for one, but I found on my '97 that I have to find a certain pressure point at the
left thumb/ cruise control pad to have it engage.

 

You might find one on Ebay. Either NOS or used.

 

Get the dodge part number, then, google search on the part number. Should be able to find one.

 

Visit a u-pull-it or other type of junkyard.

 

What they said. It's very common and all years (97-04) should be the sake for Dak/Dur. It's a T15 or T20 to remove the air bag from the backside, then a T10 to remove the 4 screws holding the switches in.
Worst case, I have a spare set I'd rather not part with but would be willing to for the right price.
