You cannot just buy the button. If the button has come off its broken and will not work properly again. You need that wiring harness with both buttons. Then disconnect the battery leave it for 10 min. there are 2 torx screws on the back of the steering wheel that release the SRS unit. Once the unit is off you will see the old harness out with the old in with the new replace the SRS retorque the torx, re-connect battery and good to go. That $100 part on ebay is $130 in the dealer. Total time = 20 mins.

Yeah I will prob just leave it for now then. Long as the horn works with the right button that will work until I have extra mod/build money for the entire kit.

Good to know hilltoperx. I never use my horn that much. But I do think about breaking those buttons when I hear of other people's broken buttons. I always try not to swipe my big hand over the buttons while turning the wheel fast. Why couldn't you glue the button back on with some E3000?

Mine broke a few months ago and I left it alone until I cut my hand on the metal piece turning. So here is how I fixed it for free:

I found some hard pastic pieces and superglued them to the 2 broken legs. When it dried, I ground them down with a dremel to match the 2 good legs and CAREFULLY put it back together. Took about 3 times of my breaking them off before I got it to work, but it has been fine for months AND the NC summer temps inside the truck. So far so good!
