The feedback on these aftermarket parts was unfavorable, but I took a chance to save money. I left the factory wiring and just replaced the switches. Replacement parts are highlighted in green, as are my OEM sensors. I don't have the issues others have reported such as: B. non-functioning buttons, beeping when certain buttons are pressed, or various error lights that then flash on the dashboard. It was pretty easy to find YouTube etc. replacement procedure. It took me 15 minutes to open the tool box and put the tools away. I noticed two things: 1) The OEM wiring harness connectors (female) don't fit into the metal (male) pins on the new switches as well as they used to. OEM switch. The left switch (ON/OFF) bothered me a bit, but after everything is reinstalled (particularly the airbag assembly) there is no way to plug in the connector. The OEM left hanger came off easily with pliers. Getting the right OEM connector took a few minutes as for some reason it was very tight and I didn't want to damage anything. Unless this part fails unduly soon, my rating will be 5 stars - I saved sixty dollars over the OEM.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Large and Bulky
