Glad to see more people doing this! The LIM switch is slightly different than cruise control. Cruise control limits how low the car goes in speed - you can take your foot off the gas, and if cruise is on 75mph, it will keep going at 75 (I'm sure y'all already know that much.)

The LIM switch on the other hand is like the opposite. Set LIM to 75 and you can pedal to the metal - it won't go over 75. If you take your foot off the gas, it'll slow down, but in this case it's an upper speed LIMiter.

Apparently that's a lot more popular overseas!

It seems like that LIM switch assembly can be swamped with the maverick cruise switch assembly. It looks identical as far as shape tho.

Got the mk8 off eBay for my XLT. How do I remove the steering wheel? I think I can figure everything else out. Gonna swap my old buttons onto the new wheel.

Disconnect negative terminal just in case safety first.

Remove front air bag

Theres only 1 bolt holding the steering wheel . And install the new one in .

That wheel is a huge upgrade. I don't love the red stitching. But something I may have to consider.

Would be super easy to dye the stitching black. 10min job and you have a sporty all black wheel!

looks awesome by the way!

I am looking at doing this upgrade, but I found the Ford Puma steering wheel on eBay. I haven't been able to confirm fitment, but I do see that some parts are interchangeable between the Puma, Fiesta and Focus.

Can anyone confirm if it fits correctly?

So the CAN/LIM would not work as a CC?

No, and I had hoped that when I first bought the wheel - but the software recognizes the different switches, so even if you set cruise control to on in FORScan, the LIM switch won't work.

Looks like it should fit . About the lin button i did not try it. But if you see the part number or engineering number on the list i could probably work. I think im going to try it since i have the lin switch still . But if you can find the one ppl suggest than perfect

So I need the left switch without limit?

Well i originally bought the weel so i can have the cruse control installed. Tried to enable it with forscan left side not working. But the wheel swap just swap the harness and was good to go heres how it looks . Ford fiesta wheel

What did you have to do to get the Maverick Airbag to be used? I attempted the install, but the airbag would not fit.

i belive if you follow the others on the forscan cruse control enable they recomend you use the escape switch. mine is just look at the rear part number and match it up on the forscan and it worked.
