I don't know if this will help any at all, but I had an 08 Dakota for a couple months and I added cruise to it. It had the same steering wheel as the 08 Rams except it had blanks instead of cruise buttons. I just bought the cruise buttons off ebay, hooked them up, and it worked. The harness was already in place and was plugged into the back of the blanks.

Your 02 is old enough that it might be different on it. I don't know when they switched to drive-by-wire and what not.

If your steering wheel is the same, it'd be worth taking the wheel apart and seeing if the harness is there. It's a 5 minute job and the wheel itself doesn't need to be removed, just be careful with the airbag.

Interesting, so you think everything might be there but the switch? Man I hope your right.
Thanks
