Honda Cruise Control Switch Fix the Right Way!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 гру 2015
- Has the cruise control on/off switch in your '03-'07 Accord or '05-'10 Odyssey stopped latching? Learn how to fix the switch the right way for under $10. To buy a new switch assembly from Honda will cost you $43, but why replace the whole thing when you can easily just replace the broken switch? There are a few ghetto options that lock the button into the "on" position. Maybe you are fine with ghetto, but I wanted to do it right if I could keep it cheap. I found the replacement switch at Mouser and bought it for $1.66 (see link below). Shipping, however will run you around $6-$8. The process is fast, cheap, easy, and the result is as good as new!

It is very important not to move the wheel too much when removing and reinstalling the cruise control instrument panel. The captive screws easily come loose and get lost within the steering wheel cavity. I had to remove the airbag / horn unit, find the screws, then maneuver them back into their very tight housing. Took two hours.
Shoot im glad you wrote this two years ago bro because I wouldve made that same mistake if you didnt mention it.
Too late, this happened to me now idk what to do
😮 Thank you, my brother in Christ!
Thank you so much man! Just ordered a new switch. I really appreciate you putting the link to the website for the new part. I figured I'd be giving my local Honda shop a ton of money for this repair. Because of people like you who take the time to make and post these great videos I personally have saved many hundreds of $$$. I'm sure lots of other people have too. Thanks again.
Thanks Shawn!! I love hearing comments like this and so glad to help you save a few bucks!
Thank you for the video, I was able to repair my cruise control switch with the help of your video. I was having a difficult time getting it removed from steering wheel, and was able to replace it while still connected. You saved me a lot of money from quote, instead I used your video to do it for $10.
Thank you! Mechanic wanted to charge $250 to fix the cruise on my son's 2005 Accord. Mouser sent me a new switch in 2 days for under $11 including shipping!
Thanks for this video. I ordered the switch from Mouser and it took me about 20 minutes to put the new switch in. Glad to have my cruise control back together and working.
I just got a 2007 Accord on Wednesday and realized last night that the cruise control wouldn't stay engaged. Thank you for posting this, because I'm pretty sure I can make this repair happen myself now.
just wedge a dime or a penny beside the cruise button.
This video was perfect! Just replaced the defective/worn out button on my 2007 Accord using this video and was able to follow it with no issues! Thanks for taking the time to produce this.
Great to hear!
Great job explaining the fix. You're my hero, Clint! I've had this problem with my 2005 for about 5 years now. My switch broke when I was in the driver's seat and was putting on a sweater and accidentally brushed the Cruise control switch. It made a weird click sound and would not lock on - just like yours. Rock on.
Glenn glad to help! Merry Christmas!
I got the part from mouser today. I replaced the part and now it works perfectly. Thank you!!
+Jae Hyoung Yoo Awesome! Thanks for the content and glad you got it working!
I really use my cruise control all the time in my 2006 Honda Accord and leave it permanently engaged. The button popped out and would no longer stay set. We ordered the part you suggested from Mouser and it was here the next day! New switch installed in less than 30 minutes! Thank you so much.
So glad j was able to help!
This is a solid fix! Worked like a charm for $8 total, exactly like video stated. Used this fix on a 04 Honda Accord EX 2.4. Screws on mine were captive. The only thing I'll add is be very very careful when inserting new white switch into the black base with spring, there are two tiny metal "contacts" one on each side of white switch which could bend when inserting, mine did and I couldn't get it in until I straightened it with some fine tweezers. Thank you for this great fix!
Mister Nobody You are welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Watched this video, bought the parts from Mouser, and installed a new switch with success!!! I priced a whole new switch assembly for $60. I bought an extra few to put in the glove box.
Success!! Nice work and thanks for the comment!
Used this video today to fix my cruise control switch. Got the switch from mouser. I watched this a few years ago and never fixed it, then decided to do it a couple weeks ago. Got it in the mail and did it today. Thanks for the video and the help.
Great to hear!
Thank you for taking time to make the video. I was hesitant to tear into my '06's cruise control until I saw your video. You saved me from having to buy a $60 part from Honda. Instead I have $7.41 in the switch that I purchased from Amazon.
Do you have the listing from Amazon?
We followed the instructions and were able to fix it with minimal stress! We were unable to remove the piece completely from the steering wheel so just left that piece attached and changed out the pieces with it intact. Thank you for your help!
I wasn't able to remove the connectors either. I replaced the parts with the board still hooked up. It works fine now.
A huge thank you for posting this fix! I have a 2003 Accord, and this resolved my cruise control issue perfectly. Thank you for this tutorial and for providing the link to the replacement part. Aside from the cost savings, which were much-appreciated, it was also empowering to be able to do this fix myself. Kudos to you for making this so approachable.
My biggest challenge was getting the screws out initially without being able to see if the screwdriver was making proper contact or stripping the screws, which are Philips screws for anyone needing confirmation. Once those were out, the rest was pretty smooth sailing.
Really appreciate the comment! Glad it gave you the boost you needed!
Just did this tonight - thanks so much for the handy steps and even giving a link to buy the switch. I did that but in my 2005 Accord Hybrid I couldn’t get the switch cluster out. Turned out to be necessary to remove the airbag. That’s pretty simple but I used another video (searched how to remove airbag from 2005 Honda Accord - straightforward) to walk me through those steps.
The tips I’d offer: remove the airbag - makes working with the cruise cluster possible. Keep the cluster connected by wires. Once it’s loose from the steering wheel remove the 3 tiny screws as shown here then take the switch apart and replace as shown. A tip for removing the airbag: definitely use a cordless drill to remove/re-apply the screws that hold the airbag in place.
Can’t wait to drive with cruise control again! Thank you for making it possible. 😊
Just completed this repair using your video and I have a few comments. First off, detailed informative video that clearly defined the objective and very nice, detailed instructions on how to reach your goal. Thank you for the effort, like many others it saved me a few bucks and offered an easy repair.
The one problem that I had is the same problem that several others had as well. I could not for the life of me find the locking clip that holds the wiring harness together. I finally became spooked about breaking the clip and just left it in place and did the repair in the car. It was easy enough that it probably saved me time by not walking back and forth to my shop.
TL;DR Great video, excellent instructions and if you can't find the wiring harness clip release just do it in place, really costs you no extra time or hassle.
Thanks for commenting and glad you got it figured out! I really need to throw a subtitle in there saying that later year models don't actually unplug like my 2003.
I just received my part from Mouser and 45 minutes later the problem was fixed. I did have some difficulty due to the heat (I am in AZ, 103 today), and my harness just did not want to let go so I had to swap the innards with it still attached, but 100% success.
Thank you for sharing!
Awesome!! Thanks for the comment and stay cool! I'm from AZ so I know how terrible the heat is!
7 years later and this video helps. Thanks for posting it.
Glad it's still relevant and helpful!
Using this tutorial I was able to fix the cruise control switch in my '06 Honda Accord! It took about 45 minutes, and like another user I was unable to detach the button housing from the cords/steering wheel. I was able to take the button housing apart and replace the part while still connected to the steering wheel. It works!!! This had been driving me crazy for a couple years! Thank you!!!!
Perfect! Thanks for commenting!
Awesome! Worked like a charm! Hardest part was waiting for Mouser to send the switch, since it was back ordered. Took about 3 weeks to get it in. Thanks!! You saved me a lot of money.
Thanks for the comment! Glad it worked out well for you and saved you some money!!
Thank you so much for this video. Saved me from buying the entire audio/cruise harness from Honda for over $100. As others have posted the 07 Honda Odyssey requires the repair to be made inside the vehicle since the cruise piece does not disconnect. This only made the replacement a little bit more difficult but still a simple fix. The previous owners must have tried to do the ghetto fix, I found residue from Elmer's glue and a small plastic piece that had been jammed into the slot next to the button. The cruise control is working now as it should. Thank you again!
Mark TAZ Graves Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you were able to get it fixed the right way for cheap!
Thanks for the fix. This was great. I ordered the part as you suggested, and got the replacement quickly and was able to fix the switch.
Great! Thanks for the feedback!
I fixed my 2006 Honda Accord cruise control, was thinking of some option you suggested. I was fortunate to find this video and am grateful for this video. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the comment! Glad it was helpful to you!
Thank you for this great video. From my living room couch I figured out the problem and how to fix it and order part within 10min. You did it all. I wished all repairs are as easy as this one.
Thanks! I'm so glad it was helpful for you!
My 2005 Accord v6 wire harness was soldered right to the circuit board.
Other than having to rebuild the switch in the car these instructions worked great.
Both module mount posts both broke off, so I'll use some bathtub caulk or rtv to secure it to the steering wheel. New switches from Amazon were $12 ea. Ordered a spare for future use. 2005 Accord v6 with 38K. Keeping it forever.
Thank you so much! I just received the part and it took me about 15 minutes to get it all done.
Yes! Good work!
Big thanks! Worked to fix my 2008 CRV, though I had to remove the two screws holding the center air bag unit as well. Thanks for taking the time
Awesome! Thank you so much! Such a simpler cheaper option than paying labor costs at a repair shop. I was quoted $99 for the part and $200 for labor. INSANE!
Excellent tutorial! The ONLY part that messed me up, outside of the Odyssey being an '07 and had to do the fix in the car was, at 3:32, when you slide the white part into the housing to re-assemble, the new unit got bound up on the metal contact parts and got bent. I used tweezers and a magnifying glass to carefully place the original copper contacts into the newer white piece and CAREFULLY placed it in the grooves...giving a little wiggle and no pressure while doing so. These little metal parts that sit in the white are just barely sitting in there so be VERY CAREFUL to do this with the spring-side down and don't let gravity make them fall out. Mouser was a rock star with price and shipping. Again, thank you! Saved about $273 over dealer quote.
Glad you were able to make it work despite the difference in models! And I love that you were able to save $$! Thanks for the comment
Switch from Mouser arrived today,installed it as directed, works like a charm. Thanks so much for the dIY video, you saved me a bunch . Mr Norm.
Yes! Thank you for posting this! I was able to fix my '06 Accord for $1.98 (no shipping cost at Arrow)! Couple of differences: 1) like others, I couldn't completely remove the whole part, but I was able to do it while connected, and 2) my new switch either didn't come with the 2 tiny side metal pieces (not an electrician, don't know what they are called) or I dropped them into the abyss when I opened it up, so I used tweezers to transplant the tiny metal parts from the old switch to the new one (of course I didn't figure this out until after I had completely replaced the switch, closed everything back up and found that the switch engaged but with no green light). Disclaimer: this whole endeavor was a lot more effort than necessary: first I tried to swap out my husband's cc switch with mine since he never uses it, but while doing that one of the very difficult to fit into and turn outer screws flipped around in its place and disappeared. I started freaking out imagining the screw shooting through his neck if the airbag ever deployed, so I flipped the wheel and hunted for it until I could pull it out completely. So now his car has a loose cruise control switch and I can't figure out how to get the screw back in the casing without diving into the steering wheel, air bag, etc. But my cruise control works! I don't know how people drive without it--no cc for me =speeding ticket! Anyway, thanks again for posting this!!!
Rachel Gillis You're welcome! Glad you got it to work eventually!
Arrow said shipping is $11...
This was a great help. I feel like I should send you the other $90 I would have spent getting this fixed at the dealership! How about a thumbs up instead. Thanks for posting.
Bryan Newlin I'll take the thumbs up! Glad it was helpful man.
I just got quoted $385 at Southeastern Honda of Palm Bay FL to fix exact same thing. Inflation, right? 🤷♂
People have been quoted all sorts of crazy prices for this, $90 is probably the lowest. Either way, much more expensive than it needs to be!
It worked!!!
My ‘07 Odyssey EXL did not have a removable switch assembly - or else the connectors were just too tight on the circuit board pins - so I had to leave it attached to the steering wheel while I carefully replaced all the tiny parts of the switch. Also, one of the screws to hold the assembly in the steering wheel fell out the back, even though it wasn’t supposed to. It didn’t matter though. The assembly still feels tight and not like it’ll fall out anytime soon.
Thanks for the excellent video and cheap fix!!!
Finally found a video that is a REAL fix, ordered the part from Mouser and will attempt to do fix on my 2006 Acura TSX (same cruise switch setup from outside appearance). Will comment again with results.
Thank you for making this video.
Jonathan Walker Hey thanks for the comment! Hopefully it works for the TSX. If it does, I'll add it to the description so it shows up more easily for others!
So I FINALLY got around to doing it and it is almost the exact same. The housing doohickey doesn't unplug like yours did, but I was able to finagle it and replace the switch. Also, it was much harder to get in and out of steering wheel because where it plugs in had this long hard plastic piece attached to the plug with electrical tape for whatever reason and I didn't want to mess with it. The actual internals of it is the exact same though. I drive a 2006 Acura TSX like I said, but I think that version of the model ranges from 2004-2007.
Thanks again for making the video, it saved me a lot of money.
This is amazing. I am having the same problem w/my '13 Honda Fit. I'll see if the assembly has the same screw set up underneath...but ngl, I'm probably going to just buy the part & take it to someone to have it fixed. I don't trust myself not to lose pieces or further damage it. However, I also know the dealership will try and screw me, just like they *tried* when my side mirror was knocked out of the housing. $75 part just snaps in, and they tried to convince me I needed to replace the whole housing for $200-$400. So thankful for youtubers like you! :)
Thanks for the comment! I love when I find the right help on youtube so I'm glad that you found this helpful!
This is by far most helpful video I have seen, you have explained it very well. On top the link you have shared is like cherry on top. Thanks a bunch for making such a helpful video.
Thank you for the comment !!
Thank very much. My wife's Honda accord switch literally quite working 2 weeks ago. Also thank you for the quick link for the part too.
You are welcome! Glad it worked for you.
Just wanted to throw my two cents in!
I can confirm that this is the same switch for the first generation Fit (2001-2008)
I ended up replacing the entire switch and soldering in the replacement but thanks for the part number you are awesome!
Thank you for the support! I'm happy it was helpful for you!
Just fixed my wife’s cruise control but I could not disconnect switch from steering wheel on her 2006 Odyssey. Good news is I was able to replace part while still connected. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you very much. I had already guessed about replacing the switch which I ordered and didn't look up your video until after. I may have gone with the more backwoods engineering been super glued the switch down jamming something in there did occur to me. But thank you for showing that I could just take apart the switch and not have to desolder and resolder.
By watching this video, I fixed my switch for my 2005 Honda accord for 22$ (part + shipping).in under 1hr. Thanks for posting! Much appreciated
Thanks for the comment! I love hearing it!
Hey great vid! Mine is doing the same. Just got a whole new cruise control switch from a car in the junkyard for $7. I was thinking I had to heat up the solder of the old switch and solder in the new switch. Now I know the switch can be taken apart so I will just do that. Thanks for the vid!
Man, other videos had me hunt a throttle cable all over the place and disassemble the intake manifold. this described my exact problem. Ordering part right now.
Thanks for the video and the link for the Mouser part. My 2007 doesn't allow you to just disconnect the switch, all wired together with the right side audio controls, so I just took out the airbag and took out the whole works and brought in the house so I could work on a flat surface with good lighting. At least for me, that was easier than trying to manage it in the car. Honda wants roughly $90 for the whole widget, in my case. So you saved me a lot of $.
A lot of people have mentioned that the later models don't come out like I show, but you're the first to take out the airbag! Most do it connected, but that's awesome you were able to get it all out and fixed. Nice work!
Wow great video thanks so much just fixed cruise control on my sons 2003 Honda Accord. Ordered two switches from Mouser came in 4 days did exactly like you showed in video works great saved me lots of money and for 2 bucks I have a spare one should a friend need one.Also anyone having this problem can use the corner of a business card to wedge in the switch till it can be replaced worked for me Thanks Again
Michele Hafenmair my Honda Dealer wants $75 for this switch and $150 to do the labor! They told me the steering wheel had to be removed.
Wow 5 years later. Perfect. I'm doing this, this week! Thanks.
Great! Be aware that later years don't actually let you remove the button assembly so people just do it with the cable connected in the car.
Ten out of ten for how to correctly fix the OEM part. There are way too many videos claiming the fix is to order the cheapest part online. This is a *real* fix.
Hey thanks for the comment! Happy I was able to share something that you found valuable.
Thanks clintahusaz for your "fix" on the cruise control. I just wanted to confirm that this was a cinch to fix with your suggested method. I swapped out the white push button from my new switch and reinstalled it everything. One area where I had a little hitch was un-clipping the wire harness from the cruise control unit. I couldn't get it to release and felt like I would damage something if I continued, so I decided to continue the repair with it plugged in. If you do this there are two white buttons that fit into the resume/set rocker switch that make contact with the buttons on the circuit board through the rubber pad. In order to install this without them falling out, I just dabbed them with a little petroleum jelly to hold them in position. Then you can turn the face over and clip and screw it back together.
This was a great video. And explained the removal process quite well. I am dealing with what might be a simple problem (key word being might!!??) with the cruise control panel which requires its removal.
As you know, when you turn the lights on, the steering wheel controls would light up as well.
As of last week, they stopped lighting up.
Now, i know it hasto be a simple case of replacing tge t3 or t4 bulb that serves as back lighting. But couldn't figure out how to remove the control.
Thanks to your video, i now do. ☺😊 To that i say; Thanks! You Rock dude!!! 🖒🖒🖒😎😎😎
Just used this to replace the switch in my 07 Accord. I couldn’t get it disconnected from the steering wheel, so after I broke some (probably unnecessary) plastic piece I decided to do the swap while it was still wired to the wheel so that I wouldn’t break anything else. Thank you!!!
Same, the connector pins to the board on mine where soldered in place. So frustrating.
Thanks...preping for a long road trip. You just made my day! Going to use ghetto option 2.
How did it work??
Clint, thak you so much. We were successful. That said, our 2005 Accord connector looked different, but I did not have to disconnect the assembly.
Clint's Garage: you rock 1,000%. I have lived with this irritating defect on my 2006 Accord 4 door EX-L V6 for about two years. With your help (and with the link you provided to Mouser), I should have this resolved by next weekend for a total cost of $10.11 for the Mouser part (price includes shipping). For my EX-L V6, Honda only sells the entire steering wheel double-switch assembly (cruise control switch on the right side of the wheel + radio control switch on the left side). A few searches of internet OEM Honda parts companies led to me suffering cardiac arrest and a stroke when I saw the switch price of $102 - or more! You have provided a concise and perfect video that provides three ways for someone to fix this problem from no-cost to very little cost. Thank you - and keep the great videos coming.
Thanks Lawrence I love comments like this!
Update: I investigated Arrow.com to purchase the Alpine SPPH120400 switch. Total price shipped to me: $8.90 ($2.36 for part, $5.99 shipping, and $0.55 NJ state sales tax). So, I saved $1.21 versus Mouser (they wanted $10.11 including shipping). This comment is not meant in any way to disparage Mouser; I just wanted to report the cost through Arrow.com. Mouser is most likely a very fine company to buy from as well.
Straightup DIY badassery. Many, many thanks, CG.
Quick suggestion from my own experience: magnetize your screwdriver before starting. My screws were not retained, and both dropped into the steering wheel, requiring a good bit of fishing at various angles with hooks and magnets to retrieve them.
Another observation: the wiring harness connecting the switch unit on my car was super short; it was very difficult to expose the disconnect tabs.
Hey thanks for the comment! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video! I was able to fix my 2007 Hybrid! I could not get the harness to unplug, but I was still able to do everything with the connector still attached!
How did you find the part number for your car?
Thanks! Great tutorial, I ordered my part today from Mouser.
Worked! Thank you. I ordered the switch from Amazon. My connectors were different. I couldn't get the assembly disconnected so I had the change the switch in the car.
Thank you. Just fixed my 07 Accord. Someone had replaced the assembly and soldered the wires directly. I fixed it without detaching. No problem.
Cool! Glad to hear that!
Thanks for the video! I just replaced the switch on my 2007 Honda Accord. The only problem I had was that I couldn’t disconnect the assembly so I just did it all in the car.
Same here, couldn’t disconnect the wires on my 2007 without destroying the connectors. I ended up glue gunning the switch down. I doubt I’ll ever order the replacement switch since I always kept the cruise bottom engaged for fear of breaking the button.
Same here with my Honda Accord Euro 2007 so I just did all in the car
Same here on my 2007 Accord LX. Those connectors do not come off so I did the switch plunger swap in the car.
You’re a legend. Ordered my part 2 seconds ago. I’ve been driving with a broken switch for months now lol
Thanks!! Best of luck!
Thx for the video. Worked like a charm. $1.75 for the switch from Mouser compared to $60.00 for a new unit on Amazon. Be careful when removing the black plastic sleeve that holds the switch together. There are small gold inserts on each side of the white plunger that will come out and they are not easy to get back in the slots and it is very easy to mangle them beyond use when attempting to reinsert them. The gold inserts are contacts that are required to mate up with pins on either side of the switch. Due to how inexpensive the switch is I highly recommend ordering 2 or 3 just in case you mess up like I did.
Thx for taking the time to create and post this video as it saved me hours of frustration.
I have a 2004 Accord EX V6 and the video instructions worked exactly as described.
Dan Mc Glad it worked out well for you!
Incredibly useful video bro! Thank you so much for posting! My 2005 TSX has this exact problem right now.
Did this work for you? I have an acura with the same issue. Other videos say I have to disable the airbag to do the change
Mark Willie! I _just_ did this repair on my 05 Honda Accord and I am convinced that those white connectors are glued in place -- not a nice situation at all. I carefully kept the wire connected and did a switch switch the way that Clint did, and I found my problem solved. The problem is, of course, that if something drops it may end up inside your steering wheel. Have some care to avoid dropping things (or cover the hole) and you don't even have to remove the connectors. Small screwdrivers and careful fingers and good lighting.
Thanks for the comment and tips for Mark and others!
Thank you.. excellent job. I ordered the switch already even Without even disassemble the switch it I sexact problem. So as soon the switch arrive, i will go for it.
You absolute legend. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for this easy to follow and detailed solution! Fixed my '03 Accord for next to nothing.
Glad it was helpful!
Oustanding video, Dude. You saved me tons of time and money. Much appreciated. Thanks!!!!
Thank you for showing the right way and providing the link to the part! Very helpful!!
You are welcome! Glad to help!
Thanks for this video. I know it is a bit dated, but I just had this same problem on my 2007 Acura TSX. The part from Mouser is still available, and I received a shipment in just two days ... $10.62 total for two switches (didn't want to run the risk of breaking one and not having a spare). Like others have commented, the connector holding the switch assembly would not release for me, so I replaced the switch parts with the assembly attached to the steering wheel. I did not need to take the air bag out, but I did disconnect the fuse for the horn to avoid the noise. Just take your time and follow the video.
Thanks for the comment!!
Thanks for the help man. I thought it was disconnected under the hood somewhere or something cuz I've had that happen on a different car before. Mine is doing same thing yours was. So thanks for the tip.👍🏼🤟🏼
My car didn't have the black connecter like yours where you push the lever to disconnect electrical wire-but it's ok I was able to replace white button without disconnecting wire. Thank you so much for your video-cruise control working great now. Your my hero😃
Thanks!! Glad it worked despite the difference!
Great worked perfectly mouser eletronics is about 10 miles from the house ordered the part drove over and picked it up. Thanks.
This was great! Just got a working switch from a LKQ and now I need to figure out how to actually get to the switch without breaking everything in my path on a 05 RL.
What is a LKQ AND did you use the same part #?
jewel niles these switches are all the same. No need for part numbers. Once you get the steering wheel off and all the extra components on it off, you get to the broken switch and it’s easy to disassemble and repair with the replacement. LKQ is a pick your own parts junkyard. Google and see if one is near you. They’re nationwide.
I did this for my 2006 Honda Odyssey EXL and it worked. Only difference was that my cruise control switch does NOT detach from the steering wheel so i had to fix it while sitting in the van. But awesome fix! The mechanic wanted to charge me $300 to fix this!
+Evelyn Andrade Very good to know! I'm glad you got it to work. It's a much cheaper (legitimate) fix just buying the replacement switch than just about anything else.
Thanks a lot, it worked flawless...like there was never a problem!
Just a little extra effort on de-snapping.
Glad it worked for you!!
Process to CR-V is pretty similar, except that is required removing the air bag & horn prior to removing the cruise control kit. Many thanks!
Thanks for the info! Someone else was just asking how to do it for their CR-V because they couldnt get the assembly out.
I followed your steps , it was more complex than shows duenti very tight clips to remove the parts. But overall my cruise control is back and working. Thank you
Thanks for the clues to this fix; just received my replacement Mouser SWITCH, pn 688-SPPH120400, per your link!( cost me $7 shipped). The actual switch fix worked perfectly. Unfortunately my '05 Ody has 2 white harness connectors to the cruise control switch and I could not see any easy way to detach them so I performed the switch surgery with it still connected to the harness and it was not a problem. I also only had one clipped screw attaching the switch to the steering wheel (weird) but it is tight and not an issue. Thanks again for the tip! (139kmi original owner).
WHERE did you get the PART# for your car?
@@jewelniles4041hi, mouser.com
Very nice video Clint! Thanks for the link to Mouser as well. I paid about $7 with shipping and I'm excited to see if this will fix my 2007 CRV as well. I figured it would be worth a try and the part looks very similar.
Morten Damm You're welcome! Let us know if it works out for the CR-V
Awesome, Thanks! I have the same problem on my Accord...just ordered the switch.
Got'er done. Worked great....thanks again.
This fixed my cruise problem perfectly! You saved me hundreds, if not a thousand dollars had I taken my car to the dealership.
Love this! Thank you for commenting!
I mildly panicked when my circuit board looked different, but it turned out to be the same switch. With that said, my assembly would not disconnect from the harness. I ended up doing it sitting in the van. Overall, top notch video. Can't thank you enough!
Yeah I'm glad I found a cheap fix! Glad it was helpful!
@@clintathusaz I have to say it's a good video, but my Honda Accord isn't wired like the one you showed. I think I'll need to remove the airbag to get to the switch.
You should show that video and maybe mention that in the video
I have a 2006 coupe. The car is so old the dealers don't even want look at them. $165 for the whole button assembly. Labour extra!! So ordered the switch from Mouser and got it shipped to Canada for $11.Thank you for putting the part number on your video!!! As for the repair...the screws stayed in the steering wheel but you have to feel around with the screwdriver and hit them dead-on for them to turn. Wiggle a lot to get the assembly out, then found my 2006 looked different at the wire connection. Tried, but was afraid of snapping something so left it on the wheel. Took the back screws off the assembly and changed the switch with the assembly hanging on the wheel. Try to keep the new switch facing up as you slide it into the base because one of the tiny contacts on the switch fell off and I had to find it!!!! and pop it back in. Took a bit to hit the screw heads on the steering wheel reassembling. So $11 , but the feeling of accomplishment was priceless. But couldn't have done it with your video!!. Thank YOU!
So glad to hear of your success! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for making this video. I followed your instructions and it worked.
Nice! Thanks for the comment
Awesome video, thanks so much. Saved me a ton a money (I was wondering if I needed to replace the whole button panel) and a lot of time. I have a 2006 Accord and my circuit board used a different wiring harness attachment. I couldn't figure out how to disconnect it, but I was able to do the rest of the button replacement right there in my car without too much trouble. The hardest part of the process for me was getting the captive screws off and on (not sure why it was so hard but they would not cooperate). Mouser shipment was fast and overall only cost me about $8 for the part and shipping.
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad that it was helpful for you! I've heard the same thing from others about the later year Accords not being able to disconnect the switch assembly, but everyone has been able to do it in place. Glad it worked out!
Yes, I had the same issue with the wiring harness. I think on some Accord models the video and cruise controls are wired together and the harness for both is behind the airbag. I was surprised that my right hand cruise control module was not a separate harness that could be removed individually as some videos have shown.
Excellent tutorial. I now know how to fix this exact problem on my 2007 V6 EXL Coupe. Thanks!
Thanks!!
@@clintathusaz BTW, I ordered the Mouser part after watching your tutorial. The part was just $2.12
I ordered the switch and replaced it successfully. $2.64 + $7.92 shipping.
Dealer wanted $100 diagnosis charge, $189 for the part + tax.

Yesssss!! Thank you for the comment and sending man points my way!
Thanks for this sir! A little bit different setup than my 2004 TL, but close enough to work for me. You rock!
You're welcome!
How did you figure out the part# for YOUR car?
To prevent any possibility of the screws becoming dislodged, whether into the captive area or elsewhere, put something of sufficient diameter and length into the screw access holes. A rolled up dollar bill or a couple of pieces of dowel rod or drink straw will keep the screws properly located. Also, once the screws are loosened, the steering wheel can be turned 180 degrees. Thus, if a screw does get dislodged, it can be retrieved without pulling the steering wheel.
Great demonstration. I'm gonna have to try that.
Thanks for the video! I'm terrible at filming but I've more than once made videos about a problem I've fixed that I couldn't find on the internet so the next poor sap wouldn't have to curse as much as I did. The internet is a magical place.
Thanks for watching! That's pretty much what my videos are, poor filming to help the next guy out.
Excellent, got my switch ordered.
Thanks for the help tutorial. Worked great.
Went to store this morning. No cruise. Just like video. I have an 05 Accord Coupe V-6. Hope this the same one... Thanks I will order one.
THANK YOU! Been using Ghetto #3 - end of toothpick wedged into switch. Replacement ordered.
You are welcome! Thanks for the comment!
😂 Does the volume require the same switch? Bc mine is the opposite. My cruise control works but not my volume
Got a 2005 Accord and this problem just occurred. Going with the ghetto approach first (jam something small to keep the switch on). If that doesn't work I'll do what you just did. Thank you!!!
So cool! Well shot too. You are my new hero!
You just saved me $70+ from the thieves down at the dealership. Thank you
