Powerlinx does this also fix the horn not working? The horn works with locking with the key fob or when the alarm goes off but not on the steering wheel. Everything else works on the steering wheel such as volume buttons and seek buttons. Just horn and cruise don’t work.
Thank you so much for this information! This fixed my cruise control on my 2008 Chevy Silverado. The cruise control hasn't worked for 6+ years. Now it's working again with a $10 fix! This seriously works thanks again!!!
Omg I’ve been riding around for 3 years with no operable cruise control. Now here it is........it’s working again. Thank you so much for this video. I caught hell getting that screw off. I was sweating bullets.
I got it today and sure enough it worked like a charm. It probably took 6 minutes to swap out, and cost less than $13. My cruise control works perfectly now, thanks!
Nice video... super simple and to the point. This worked for me too and fixed the issue in 5 minutes. QUICK NOTE: some models, including mine, have the switch on the RIGHT side of the brake pedal. If you look at your brake pedal arm and don't see it on the LEFT side like in this video, then check out the RIGHT side... it'll be there!
This fixed the lack of cruise control on my 2007 Chevy Avalanche. The part was under $20 and took me an honest 10 minutes to change. Thank you for the video!
Thank you. This worked for me. I had the bolt setup. I put it all back together wrong at first & it wouldn’t shift out of park. Take pictures before you start so you can put it back together right the first time.
THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO EVER!!! Took me 5 mins and I have been riding like that for 6 months... i have a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd... I even bought a new cruise control set up and was about to take out the air bag and replace but while watching the video I saw this one!! Thanks again and I already subscribed.
Just an FYI. Somewhere I remembered reading that when cruise control acts like this to check all your bulbs. My 08 Savana 1500 van had one of the two break light bulbs above the rear doors out. Replaced the bulb and cruise control is now back in working condition. Easier than replacing tha break switch but only time will tell if I have further problems.
I'm so pissed. 4 years ago my cruise quit working and i checked out the internet and the only thing i found was that I had to change some harness and even then was no guarantee, plus was expensive. So I did nothing. I started cruising the state more lately so thought I'd check again and I came across your video so I bought the brake light switch for 12.91 at amazon, took 5 minutes to install. Works like a charm. I have a 2007 Avalanche and it fastens on the opposite side of the brake pedal than yours so I think it's a little easier to get to but I have the same clip. Thanks so much!
Thanks for making the video. Our 09 yukon would intermittently ignore setting the cruise control until it finally quit setting cruise altogether. Since we get the CC light on the steering wheel, I figured it might be the brake pedal sensor. I know it still might be something else, but I am going to replace this anyway on my 200k mile car. I bought through your link and I hit the subscribe button to help the channel as a thanks for posting.
Found a definitive correlation of brake pedal position and cruise control malfunction / failure on my 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. Non operative cruise control temporarily regains functionality while driving after I use the top of my left foot underneath the break pedal. I lift it upward and towards me, there seems to be 2mm or less of play (slack). When I maintain this slight lifting tension I can sucesfuly engage cruise control, however, the moment I allow the brake pedal to rest without my foot lifting it, cruise control disengages.
worked on my 2010 sierra 1500, just used the amazon tool to make sure it fit my vehicle because this exact switch wasn't the 1 for me. looks exactly the same though. may even work on both who knows. You are a legend man!
Just wanted to say thanks! Watched your video since my 2008 Tahoe was doing the same thing, light in steering wheel button engaging green light but nothing on the cluster when pressing “set.” Changed out this part and it works again. Ordered it through Advance Auto Parts, genuine GM part for $35 and now good to go!
@@gdub14 awesome! Hopefully that fixes it for you. Kind of a pain in the butt to swap it because of the position you have to get in to do it, but very easy to do! 🤙🏼
Hi. Any suggestions? I have an 07 gmc sierra and I've already replaced the brake light switch and still have an issue. My cruise control comes on and works for about 30 seconds, then it shuts off, the indicator light on my gauge cluster turns off too.
This is literally the best most simplest nothing complex and great recording angled video of all videos I’ve seen this deserves a like subscribe and share button thanks for this video!!
My cruise wouldn't engage. Checked out the issue and found these video's on TH-cam. Ordered the new part and while waiting for it to arrive, went for a drive and lifted the brake pedal just a fraction with my foot. The cruise now engages every time, problem gone and the new part is sitting on my desk.
mine had a 10 mm bolt holding the clip. orelieys had the part, brake switch they called it. worked like advertised. just need to figure out the daytime and auto lights not turning on.
I have a 2008 Yukon Denali 1500 I am going to attempt this on. It also has an odd occurrence of rear window popping open when car is driving. Any idea on what that would be?? Dealership said they replaced a corroded fuse and that fixed it, but it did not. As I drove it home yesterday it did release it
Man thank you so much I thought it was the wheel bearings at first They needed to be replaced anyway but I was wrong fixed it with a $10 part yours is a little different than an 07 avalanche the clip was a pain the center of the device goes into the rod and the clip on top of it. Thanks again
Hi it’s an old video but it’s good thanks, but I want to ask you do the cruise control work and cut off before you change on high speed or work and stop working some times?
Did you have to reset the computer of the truck? I’ve replaced the break switch just like this, still no engagement. The amber light on the steering wheel still comes on, but cruise does not engage, no green light on dash. Thanks for any assistance.
What can it be i have a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 single cab 4.8l i replaced the brake light switch and cruise control switch the light comes on from switch but don't work?
is it required to have the contact with the break peddle to connect the cruise control system? I had a hard time getting that clip off so I just hung the connector by the wire and connected it to the plug. Problem is, I could not get the car out of park until I reconnected it to the original plug, at which time the cruise control did not work still
Good video- Just replaced mine today in my 2008. Fixed my cruise control. Was scared when i took it apart and my brake petal fell to the floor, the 10mm bolt holds in it so that doesn't happen correct? Not sure how i feel about that little clip for safety.
JAROSES My 2009 GMC Sierra 5.3 was the same way. The only reason it took me longer than it should was I had to get a 10mm wrench out of the garage. Otherwise, I’d have swapped it in about 3 minutes.
I did this fix on my 07' Suburban and it did not work. Cruise control light is on and it works but only for a little while, then it stops working. I can turn cruise back on and it works, again, for maybe a few minutes and then it turns off again. Puzzling?
Thanks for sharing. Do you have any advise for the steering wheel volume controls working the opposite direction...Volume up = volume down......Intermittent just like my cruise control like this video.
My 08 Sierra I've had no cruise control and I change the switch it works no my 2010 is doing the same thing lights come on the steering wheel but it stays amber and there's nothing on the dash, I'm thinking about changing switch what do you guys think
Looking for help for my 2010 GMC 1500, I have replaced the brake pedal switch and the cruise control is still not working. Any suggestions on what to look at next. Fuses, vacuum leak etc.? Any help is appreciated, also what about remote start issues?
@@thearnoldsilver8791 everything is working fine now, have an ongoing problem with small EVAP system leak. Code 443 will cause the remote start to not work every time. I understand the purpose behind the EVAP system, but what a pain in the butt it is
Daily Dash Of Life He already told you, why do you keep asking? The one he bought is made by ACDelco, it’s a D1586H GM Original Equipment Brake Light Switch. He got his on Amazon, I got mine on EBay.
`OK, so if I wanted to do a test to see if the switch is indeed the problem with my cruise not working, could I just remove the wiiring from the switch, take it for a drive and see if the cruise works?
Hi I’m Kim. What if I just done that but it still doesn’t work? Could the accelerated throttle position be the problem? Cause that is showing a code on my 08 Silverado
FYI..I PURCHSED THIS OEM PART, THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON , I REPLACED THE OLD ONE BACK AND THEBRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF ...SOIT WAS NOTTHAT SWITCH .THAT MAKES THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. ANYTHING ELSE ?????
got any idea what other issues might cause the cruise control to not work? I just replaced that stoplight switch same as you did and it still doesn't engage. I have the exact same vehicle as you.
Same here switch replaced and it didn't fix the problem, what connector are you talking about the brake light switch connector? Man I hope that's it, gonna go check it.
The connector for the brake switch, I replaced the brake switch and that didn't fix it, but while driving, I pressed the cruise button like you would to engage it, then while driving, I reached my foot up and just kind of nudged the brake switch and it instantly engaged. It's been working ever since. You still have to be going around 45 to engage it, then just with the tip of your shoe, find the brake switch and push up a little bit. That's literally all I did to get mine working again.
What finally fixed mine was my main ground cable was found to be green dust practically. Location is back of the block driver’s side up to the body inboard of the master cylinder. The bolt on the back of the block was so rusted. I ended up buying a negative battery cable 24” and attached it to the alternator bracket. There was a bolt there holding only a plastic wire bracket. This fixed all kinds of gremlins. On star come on and talking her head off, no cruise control engagements, the back lift window opening when I hit the brake, radio going off when I raised or lowered a window. One ground cable lots of fixes.

if you cant remove the clip i would seek a mechanic. you dont want to hook your brake pedal up wrong.

Worked on my '08 Tahoe..THANKS... part was only $17 and about 15mins of work!
Did you brake lights still work (light up) prior to changing the switch?
this will also work for a 2009 gmc yukon xl 5.3 the difference was mine had a 10mm screw in the middle of that metal clip

Awesome, My GMC Seirra 1500 cruise quit two days ago, now to pick up a brake switch :-))
How did you determine that the brake switch was the failed part?
typically if the cruise control doesn't work this part is the problem. Just going off majority of cases and common.

correct.

I have been having with cruise control not ending when brake pedal is pressed
I’m just curious how does a brake like switch have to do with cruise control ?
Imagine u hit the brakes and cruise control didnt automatically turn off its a pretty important part of the system
