What's involved in replacing a cruise control switch?

Hi guys,

I have an '02 Grand Prix GT with a cruise control switch on the turn signal/winshield wiper control on the left side of the steering column. Half the time I hit the RESUME button (which will increase the cruise speed by 1MPH for each push), the cruise just goes off completely. I'm assuming the switch is faulty.

How involved a replacement is this? Do I have to remove the air bag and partially disassemble the steering column to remove the switch?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

Here's a picture of the part, replacement is going to involve tearing into the steering column. I don't have my repair manual handy, but I don't believe it can be done without taking the steering wheel and air bag off, as they block access to a couple of the screws.

If he has the cruise control on the multifunction switch then it is the same procedure as below:

The steering wheel does not need removal. To disable the airbag pull the airbag fuse and let it sit about 30 minutes so the charge unit drains out.
