In this case the brand is Rostra. (www.rostra .com) 1997 Mondeo Station wagon diesel lowered on 17" wheels walnut dash ...need more power to the engine

It would be swell if I could use the original switches instead of the Rostra switch. In that case I can get a "cruise steering wheel" in the junk-yard. 1997 Mondeo Station wagon diesel lowered on 17" wheels walnut dash ...need more power to the engine

How many switches do you need? Do the labels on the Ford switches match the functions you need on this system. Perhaps the vendor would be the best one to ask.

As long as momentary switches are fine to use with the ket, then yes, the Ford ones will work fine.
