You have no sense of humor.
Had to do the same thing to my old wagon after 230,000ish miles.Put new steering wheel cruise and radio controls in tonight. Had to take the steering wheel apart aka take the air bag off. Did due diligence and de energized the car for about 20 minutes and handled it with care. Came off easy enough and the controls went in with no issues. Problem wasn't the switch function, I wore all the paint off in 9 years so all I had for indication was my memory of what went where. Not difficult but it's nice to see everything as it should be.
Just put a new thermostat in. Been running a little cool for awhile now and throwing a CEL. Ford wanted about 340 to put a new one in, I did it for 18 bucks from Rock Auto. It was a PITA but I got it. Comes up to temp now and stays right on the mark. Took it for test drive and I look down and water is forming a steam while stopped for fuel, much to my relief a dude a couple bays down must have been draining a cooler.

That I don't do.I'm pretty sure mine weren't helped by the excessive compulsive cleaning that I do.
Contacts were just worn out on mine. I use cruise more often than not on the open road... keeps my license intact.
All of the switching worked, just no paint left. I pretty much drive with cruise. Keeps me going the right speed.That I don't do.

I'm a 5 over guy now. I don't feel like the added insurance expenses are wanted at this point. Also use the Waze app, seems to do well in populated areas for pointing out the popo.
Yeah, sometimes you have to do 90 on the interstate here to stay with traffic. No problem for the little Foci. The Wrangler and XJ both like 80 but not 90.
I don't think I've tried to take the XJ beyond 80. Pretty sure CTD would fall apart.
Mine does great up to 80, beyond that I think the driver gets a little nervous.
I don't know Monk, the CSP used the XJ on the highways here for years. I imagine they had to go that fast now and then. For us civilians that would be a stretch.
I was actually looking to buy a Focus SVT from the early '00s but holy shit are those things overpriced by most sellers. Sweet little cars.
Can't ever picture driving a normal Focus though. It's like the car for single mothers who wanted a Civic but their child support payments wouldn't cut it.
