DIY: Bronco Raptor Paddle Shifters on Standard Steering Wheel

The airbag won’t work

Edit: nvm, I’m guessing you just mean to remove the paddles

Are you saying the airbags have different wiring or architecture across different models?

The actual shape of the airbag is different most likely

so could the f150 rappy wheel and paddles work, if you kept the f150 bag? seems like the direction I'm leaning. and cheaper than Braptor.

It might. I can’t say for sure since I’ve never tried it. As long as the clock spring is similar and would work, I don’t see why not. It would likely all depend on that.

If anyone is interested in the donor steering wheel I used for this project, it's up for sale.

Awesome mod. Above my skill level but certainly a great addition to the Bronco.

Cross referencing the part numbers posted earlier, it looks like the silver paddles are actually from a Mustang?

This is a great post and I followed the DIY and it was perfect to the tee! Did the same thing where I bought the Raptor steering wheel off Ebay, swapped wheels intially in totality while I sent the original wheel off to get re-fitted with different leather. Then when it came back, I did the swap of the paddles and harness and reinstalled! Looks great on a Wildtrak interior and like you I have 1/2 a Raptor steering wheel left! Thanks again to the OP for documenting everything!

I'm glad it was helpful.
Your Bronco interior looks awesome!

Unfortunately, the paddle shifters are not sold separately.

That's dope! I want! We could get the Braptor wheel at a local junk yard...

There is one on ebay for $1K! A lot more buttons then my BB one.

Hello all, I have read this thread and the earlier about swapping the raptor wheel and/or paddles on my bronco. Mine is a 2021 2.7 BB with the base 10 speed auto, not the automatic 4wd one. Anyway, I see that the paddles will work without any programming but it looks like they were all done on the auto 4wd one. Will it also work w/o programming on my automatic without auto 4wd? I would appreciate the help! Thanks, Mark

What type of transfer case you have wont make any difference.

Awesome! So a new bronco raptor wheel will work (as long as I swap the boards ) or I can buy a used explorer wheel for the harness and buy new paddles it looks like! I appreciate your reply!
