right, after watching this i actually got a new cruise control assy from a scrapman. fitted it to my civic and it didn’t work, as in the buttons were doing totaly different things so I thought maybe the assy was a different year or maybe the buttons inside are just dirty from the cold warm cycles happening every day in a car. i opened the assemblies up, cleanned the buttons and the circuit boards and voilla, the cruise control works now, uppon cleaning the port that the assembly goes in i got it to light up also. so the cruise control problem is simply solved by cleanning the port and the buttons inside, easy job!!! cheers dude for the inspiration!!
I have this problem on my 2006 Civic. Watching this video made me want to try a simpler solution. The problem is the button will not stay pushed in so I pushed it in and wedged a flat piece of plastic about 1/3 inch square along side it. Now the button does not pop out and the cruise control is permanently on (I hope), but so what? Took me a couple of minutes and cost me nothing. This is a 15 year old car with 255K miles. It owes me nothing. Hope it goes for a couple more years.
Funny, I'm replacing the cruses on my Wife's civic today and getting the passenger air bag replaced tomorrow! Thanks for the video, I also owe you a beer! Cheers

No problem, glad it was useful. At the start of the project, I had no clue, I would be taking an airbag out. Just seemed like a safer way to go. Would have been an awesome video if the airbag deployed in my hands!
you can fix the problem for free and really fast. when you press the button, you can insert a toothpick in the tiny little gap on its left side. that will hold the button pemanently pressed. just break the part of the toothpick that sticks out and it will not even look that bad. you will barely notice it.
I liked your video, but the reason you had to change the is because when the push the cruise control button the light would not stay on? That's what mine does. If I push the button in the light comes on, but as soon as you let off the button the light goes off and cant set cruise. So looks like it's the switch. Thanks for the video. If not for guys like you it would have to go to the shop.
Yes, when I pushed the “Cruise on/off” button, the light came on, but when let go went back off. I could hold the button in and set the cruise control, but would have to hold it the entire time. Hope the video works for you and you can get your cruise on again! Good luck!
Thanks for the video, very helpful. On my 2007 SI the airbag connection does not require a screwdriver, slide the black ring down. I have had good luck with hondaparts.com. Mine was a little over $100 plus shipping.
I see that there's a part that includes a volume control switch for the other side of the cruise control switch. Could you be able to install it and upgrade or do you have to get that specific replacement part?
Hi. When you say it's not working what exactly do you mean? Mine isn't work. The main function button / light works but when I go to set the cruise there's nothing. Do you know if it's the clutch switch?
My problem was specifically the switch. When I pressed the cruise on/off button, the light came on my dash. But when I let go of the button, the light went out, which would not let me engage the cruise control. I have no clue what your problem could be. I have no knowledge of the workings of the cruise control. I just figured out how to get the switch out and replaced without the crooks at the Honda dealer getting our hard earned beer money! 🍻
@@Btowntaz I fixed it by simply screwing the clutch switch further down towards the pedal and turning the rubber pad that it pushed against so it had a clean surface to engage with.

You vehicle would have to already have cruise control installed. You would see the cruise control options on the buttons on your steering wheel. Believe they are on the right side. If nothing is there, you likely don’t have cruise control. This video was just to show people how to change a broken cruise button, in a vehicle that already has it. I don’t have the car anymore, but you should have a button cluster, if your car has cruise control. In the video, I should have a close up the switch assembly and you can verify if that matches what is in your steering wheel.
A volume button for the cruise control? I don’t think so. If you are replacing your volume button, this video can help you tear down the steering wheel to get inside.
I’m not here for jokes. The switch is the easy fix and the only one I know. May be a further problem with your cruise control. Unfortunately only a mechanic is going to be able to help you with that.
Was your horn also not working? The horn on my 2009 Honda Civic and the cruise control buttons are not functioning and I have already checked the fuse and it seems to be fine.
My horn was working, just the cruise control switch wouldn’t stay on. I know I took the airbag off under the horn, but don’t recall seeing the horn switch. This video should get you too the switch, if that’s what is not working. Have you tested the horn itself for functionality?
My light would not stay on. When pressed it would light up, but when released it would go back off. It would work if you held the button in the whole time. Something inside the switch broke.
Yeah my wife had work the next day and couldn’t hold the camera. I was out from work, with a shoulder surgery and needed to repair the cruise control. My main focus was to show people how to do the repair themselves and screw the greedy Honda dealers for charging $100’s for the repair.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. On my 2007 SI the airbag connection does not require a screwdriver, slide the black ring down. I have had good luck with hondaparts.com. Mine was a little over $100 plus shipping.
Guess someone threw sand in your yammy. My cruise control works fine. No second light comes on in the Civic. Maybe you are just talking out of your ass.
Btowntaz respectfully he’s not. I have the same problem on my civic. The switch on the left lights up in the dash(the on /off switch) when you push it. The switch in the middle (set/resume) no longer comes on to engage the cruise control.
Thanks for making the video, but I found the camera gyrations disorienting (headache, nausea). I also decided that approach is too much cost and effort, only to install another switch with the same problem design. A cheaper and quicker fix is to cut about 2" from a zip-tie and slip it in the cracks above and below the switch, forcing it to remain down. Take a look at drive.google.com/open?id=1VLPt81gCdB7gzhuqqtYa5_JNjZ2FBY2V
Yeah was hard to film as I lost my lovely camera assistant and found it very difficult to film, move the stupid air bag and point at the crap inside. I understand if the repair was too much effort. The video was made for Men who wanted to fix their broken cruise control, not girly-men that wanted to put a bandaid on their broken stuff, for fear of breaking a nail. 🤣
Made this a 15 min job. Back in business. Well done, thanks.

Right on! Any time you get to keep your money and Honda doesn’t get it, is a good day! 🍻
If you you can, throw me a share and a subscription I would appreciate it. TH-cam is running over us small channels.
i did this today took me two hours hardest part was putting back the torx screws. thanks for this very much i owe you some beers
Right on, glad it helped!
Best video on youtube. Helpful, concise, and amusing! Lol

Right on, whatever works for you. Whatever keeps your hard earned money out of the pockets of the greedy dealership.
Same problem on my 2008 civic.
I'm having this same issue, and thought about employing the same wedge technique. I use mine ALL the time!
Ok, just changed out my switch following your awesome video. I need to buy you a beer or 3. Thanks so much!!!!!
Glad it was helpful for you. I’m just glad I got to hose the Honda dealership out of $270 of your hard earned money! 🍻
Funny, I'm replacing the cruses on my Wife's civic today and getting the passenger air bag replaced tomorrow! Thanks for the video, I also owe you a beer! Cheers
I'm about to do this myself so many thanks for the video!
More than welcome. Hope everything goes smooth and you save a ton of money doing it yourself.
Been looking for exactly this for a while. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video man. Had i not taken the time to find it I would have probably done it without unhooking the battery also

Good idea!
You can also stick a penny in the bottom of the switch. I’ve had a penny holding the switch on for over 5 years now. Cheapest fix ever 😎
My 2009 Honda Civic Coupe LX is a good car. 125,500 miles.
I finally gave my 2008 Civic to my son. Good car.
@@Btowntaz All done right parts for Honda !

@@Btowntaz it was the clutch switch!
Well now you know and knowing is half the battle. Hopefully you can find a video on how to fix that!
@@Btowntaz I fixed it by simply screwing the clutch switch further down towards the pedal and turning the rubber pad that it pushed against so it had a clean surface to engage with.
Thanks for the upload, can go into this properly informed! Looks like the silver trim piece is way over-engineered!

Well replaced the switch on mine but no main cruise light came on any suggestions please I’m serious

Thank you for the kind words.
What was your cruise control doing that it needed replaced? My cruise control light turns on but will not let me set it.
My light would not stay on. When pressed it would light up, but when released it would go back off. It would work if you held the button in the whole time. Something inside the switch broke.
@@Btowntaz that's the same problem I'm having. Hoping the parts are dirty or something as simple. We'll see soon enough. Thanks for the vid!
No problem, glad it was helpful!
What the heck happened to your camera crew!?? It would've been nice to have had a steady hand and a better and wider view. But thanks for the vid

Beats me. Just go to Partsgeek.com and enter make and model of your car.

umm a second light was suppose to light up when the cruise control sets so... lol
Huh? What are you talking about?
Guess someone threw sand in your yammy. My cruise control works fine. No second light comes on in the Civic. Maybe you are just talking out of your ass.
Btowntaz respectfully he’s not. I have the same problem on my civic.
The switch on the left lights up in the dash(the on /off switch) when you push it.
The switch in the middle (set/resume) no longer comes on to engage the cruise control.
Beats me. I don’t even have the car anymore. The cruise control works and holds, with or without a light.
Btowntaz 👌
