Honda Cruise Control Switch Fix the Right Way!

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!

[@miker.5495]

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.

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.

[@flattopalpha6016]

I own a 2007 honda civic, but the arrangement of the cruise button is a little different on my steering wheel but does the same thing. How did you verify that this particular part# at mouser was the right switch. I called and they have no way of referencing car part numbers. Was the part # and manufacturer name on the part?

[@clintathusaz]

Hey +Flattop Alpha, I had to do some digging to find that part. ALPS is the company that made the circuit board for the Accord, which had me looking for the board part number on their site (didnt come up with anything). I would assume the same company made yours, but it might not be, you'll have to pull it apart to be sure. They also make the switches and so looking closely at mine, I was able to identify the matching part number, which was available at Mouser. You'll have to start by pulling yours apart. Let me know if you need any more help!

[@flattopalpha6016]

thanks. I will have to disconnect the battery as it seems that the air bag has to be removed for my particular model. that is why I asked first. Time to get the tool chest out now.

[@clintathusaz]

Yeah let us know how it works!

[@bryannewlin392]

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.

[@buratino77]

I just got quoted $385 at Southeastern Honda of Palm Bay FL to fix exact same thing. Inflation, right? 🤷‍♂

[@clintathusaz]

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!

You absolute legend. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@andykwan-d5m]

local repair shop asked for 80 dollars labor plus 20 dollar part fee... thanks!

[@Little_Tough_One]

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.

[@HowardBanh]

Same here with my Honda Accord Euro 2007 so I just did all in the car

[@anubisoftllc]

Same here on my 2007 Accord LX. Those connectors do not come off so I did the switch plunger swap in the car.

[@IC-qf9mj]

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!

Yes, I was little nervous about mines thinking that was a electronic problem somewhere, difficult to trace. My problem now is to find the spare part. Thanks to include the link where or the switch model number! Thanks a lot for the video! Nicely done!

[@alexandersprunt9448]

Thanks for the video! This same approach (buying the replacement switch) and swapping out the two parts worked for my 2005 Acura TSX. For my repair, I removed the airbag (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gInXkGmBnLqWbK8). It doesn't seem to be possible to disconnect the plugs at the circuit board. Fortunately my switch assembly (the group of three buttons, circuit board, rubbery membrane, and housing) was just held together with the three screws. There was no need to pry on tabs to get it to come part.

[@Phamtom009]

Alps!? First, analog sticks and now this. They do just make things designed to break over time.

[@dsc0273]

Mine problem was the clutch pedal sensor. I just glued a five cent piece over the hole. Easy fix.

[@tessakloppe9956]

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.

[@fredbaldwin9118]

just wedge a dime or a penny beside the cruise button.

[@itsjustrenee1320]

That is a good question. Why would anyone ever get any it turned off? Why isn't it just permanently on? Mine went out. I don't have the confidence to do what you did here but I bet my husband does.

[@DaminalTheAminal]

It is so easy you can do it with no problem... Don't be intimidated.. just unscrew 2 screws and follow step by step...

[@kevinclapton7835]

does anyone know if u can order the whole assembly instead of just replacing the button..not sure if i could do it

[@clintathusaz]

I didn't find it when I did the video. I think the button is the best option.

[@rachelgillis6594]

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!!!

[@clintathusaz]

Rachel Gillis You're welcome! Glad you got it to work eventually!

[@jewelniles4041]

Arrow said shipping is $11...

[@garybayless7527]

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.

[@rogermotsinger3549]

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!

[@nephilim5]

Another thing to mention here: the rear side of the acceleration/deceleration button (this is the same one that sets the speed) has two small black posts on the inside. These can get lost as is my case today, so now, I have a working on/off switch, but I can't check to see if it works because the Set button has no way to connect to the membrane behind it. Now I need to find a new switch. Also, as mentioned by others, the screws aren't that long (and I don't know what the video author means by captured screws: these fall out quite easily)., so be careful when unscrewing: the screw itself is maybe a 1/2" long, give or take. One of my screws fell out: thankfully, it was near the seam between the steering wheel and the rear housing. Of course, now I only have one screw holding in the module. Hopefully, this will be sufficient. I'm noticing that a number of video authors who've "covered" this subject don't really get into some of the specific particulars. It would be nice if we could see all the details, not just the ones the authors think are video-worthy. I can appreciate careful editing, but sometimes these details matter.

[@clintathusaz]

Hey thanks for the feedback! I tried my best to represent my experience and show how to change the component. Since posting it, others, like yourself, have shared that they have run into issues (screws falling out, the clip not detaching depending on the year, etc). I promise I wasn't trying to hide anything or gloss over more difficult details, I just wasn't aware at the time. I'll see if I can add some cautionary text to these areas to hopefully help others avoid the same mistakes!

[@jeremywatts2768]

Wow. My 09 RDX just had this happen. I wonder if this part is the same between all models. So far, all I've found is the entire module of buttons and might have to remove the wheel to get to the parts. Looks like its a very honda problem.

[@clintathusaz]

So if it's like the accord, a lot of people have reported that their modules were not detachable and plenty of them were able to make the swap leaving everything attached without having to remove the wheel. Best of luck!

[@loriannhillyard108]

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!

[@onesocklou]

After removing the screws in my 2008 CRV (mine actually did come out all the way, I cannot get the unit to budge at all, therefore cant get to the point where I disconnect it as you do at ~ 1:07.....any suggestions? Thanks very much for making the video in the first place !!!

[@clintathusaz]

Some people have said that other year models didn't have disconnectable cables so they swapped the part with it still in place on the car. Hoping that will also work for you! Best of luck!

[@billfletcher7077]

Thanks...preping for a long road trip. You just made my day! Going to use ghetto option 2.

[@Steve-l5v8o]

How did it work??

[@jordany.4918]

Do you know if the switch for the US version is compatible with steering wheel of the Euro version of the car (Honda Accord 7)?

[@clintathusaz]

I couldn't say. It's likely the same if the buttons look the same. I'd pull it apart and see if it looks the same.

[@JimOldfather]

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.

[@zehzahl5988]

I freaking love YT! And you're a genius!

[@clintathusaz]

Haha thanks!!

[@upthechallange]

Great demonstration. I'm gonna have to try that.

[@justinmead6768]

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.

[@clintathusaz]

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

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.

[@filmingdrummer04]

How did you figure out the switch part you needed for your model? Do you think it might be the same for my 2010 Honda Fit, or would I need to completely disassemble the part as you have to figure that out? No one seems to have dove this deep for my model of Honda.

[@clintathusaz]

I did have to assemble and do some research, but I believe I have seen others in the comments say that it worked for the Fit. Does the button layout look the same?

[@filmingdrummer04]

@@clintathusaz the button layout different, it’s a different part than what you have. Sounds like it may be worth the chance in ordering a switch and taking it apart once instead of reassembling after an investigation. Thanks!

[@markkleckler7547]

Another ghetto "fix" is creating a solder short on pins 4 and 5 of the connector or equivalent pins on the switch. Cruise is always on.

[@georgiapeach6704]

Thank you. I don't know if I can do this and I'm not sure if I will try. What was the cost of the switch?

[@clintathusaz]

It costs less than $3 for the switch (shipping is more). It's a pretty simple fix, only thing to be aware of is other model years won't allow you to disconnect the circuit board. Mine was a 2003. You got this!

[@keithwalker5078]

once we have the part why can't we simply replace the unit instead of just the pillar?

[@clintathusaz]

You could it's just soldered in. Being that the pillar was the only broken part that was the easier path to go. Depending on the vehicle year you won't be able to disconnect it from the cable like I did so desoldering and soldering will be much more difficult if that's the case for you. Best of luck!

[@walmartinrx]

I did the ghetto fix with a small piece of wire wedged on the side of the switch. Stays on all the time, but the wire doesn't even show.

[@clintathusaz]

Yep glad that's working for you!

[@wesleysmith8]

can't the entire switch assy be purchased for about $30? Other than the cost difference, why not just replace the entire unit. not like it's $100s of dollars. A most helpful video in either case as my son's car is having that very issue. Thanks!

[@clintathusaz]

At the time I either couldn't find a full replacement board or it was like $300. Definitely an option!

[@wesleysmith8]

I did both - bought the complete assy for and then bought the pushup switch to repair the original. will have some redundancy - so in 2040 I'll ready to replace a again because that Honda may still be running. An amazing automobile.

[@andrewstershic9005]

Amazing video. Did this on my 2013 Honda Fit, and I'm really impressed it worked. It was a little more labor intensive to get to the switch assembly (taking the steering wheel off), but it worked even with the same part. How did you know which switch to get? I'm lucky it still fit for the 2013 Fit.

[@clintathusaz]

Glad it worked for the Fit too!! I had to investigate a bit to figure out the appropriate switch replacement. I can't remember if the switch itself has the brand label on it but i think it did then I looked for one that latched with the same number of solder pins and the same dimensions and the image looked the same.

[@natedeppermann7142]

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

[@74429dozer]

The plug on a 2008 Odyssey EX-L is different. It's two separate plugs. I'm an aircraft mechanic and couldn't figure out how to disconnect them and ended up breaking four pins off. Now I have to replace the harness which means removing the airbag. If you have the two grey plugs just disassemble the switch while it's still connected to the harness. My $10.21 fix turned into $81.99 from auto zone + installation time + the $10.21.

[@kevinfranklin6382]

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.

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.

[@GeoffSilberman]

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.

[@panderson9561]

Save your money. I watch a lot of these "do it yourself" videos. They always leave out something...never fails. What this guy left out was you can't see the screws to know if your screwdriver...a phillips head I eventually figured out...is in the head of the screw or not. I just spent an hour trying to unscrew those two screws. I actually did manage to get one unscrewed part of the way, decided to try to unscrew the other one part way, then return to the first screw. I couldn't get the end of the screwdriver into the head of the second screw no matter what I tried. So I go back to the first screw, and guess what? Couldn't get the screwdriver back into the head of the first screw no matter what I tried. I used a mirror trying to look at the end of the screw. That doesn't work of course because you have to move the mirror to get the screwdriver in there. I ended up putting a piece of electrical tape over the button to hold it down. Save yourself the $10 you'll waste trying to follow this guys "method."

[@toddalehman]

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. 😊

[@EristiCat]

WARNING:. I did this but I did not find those two screws to be "captured" One fell out and into the inside of the steering wheel. I got it out but was not able to get it back in place so my switch is held in only by one screw. Maybe when it's cooler I take another crack it getting the second screw back in. Other than that this is a great fix!!!

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.

My 2007 Accord EX-L switch assembly looks the same from the outside, but mine has two very small white connectors that I can't seem to pull off (there's no apparent tang to press to release them), even with a small pry tool. I was afraid I was going to break them, so I decided to remove the 3 screws with the electrical harness still connected. After doing so, the plastic plate on mine just came right off without having to release any clips like in this video. If your is like mine and you do it this way, be careful not to lose these 2 tiny plastic button contacts that I almost lost into my car's crevices. I hope there were only 2. I'll know for sure once I reassemble it with the switch I'm about to order using the Mouser link provided in the description above.

Are all the switches the same for all Hondas? I have a 2007 Honda accord sport.

[@clintathusaz]

I think it will probably work for that year accord. I assume the button panel looks the same? 2003-2007 were all the same body style

[@mrau92me]

​@@rosachavez6394the fix in this video worked for my 2007. If your switch looks like the one in this video, this fix will likely work for yours too. If yours is not working anyway, go ahead & take it apart & look to see. You can still drive the car while you're waiting for the new button to come in. Even if you go ahead and order one upfront, u won't be out that much $$ if yours is different for some odd reason

[@rosachavez6394]

Ok perfect. Yes look a lot like it. I will have to fix mine. Thanks a lot

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!!! 🖒🖒🖒😎😎😎

[@timsears4385]

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.

i dont have the leaver to remove the switch, the wires were soldered on, Im trying to find out how to reach where that wire plugs in at the back

[@clintathusaz]

So if that's the case, which it seems to be for later year models, most people have had success changing it in place without disconnecting the cable. I wish I had known and put that disclaimer in the video at the time. Best of luck!

[@the13thfox46]

@@clintathusaz it looks like I have to take the airbag off, I took off the panels around the steering wheel and there were no wires…. Auugh, why do they do this

[@HiTechDiver]

2005 Accord LX- Unfortunately, my plug is soldered in, so I need to dig deeper into the steering wheel/column to find out where it plugs into...hopefully plugs into.

[@markwhaling7315]

Slight modification in my case. My 2007 Accord Coup cruise control assembly wires were soldered in place and could not be removed. So, I had to remove the steering wheel airbag to gain enough access to disassemble the cruise control assembly and replace the switch. Great video on airbag removal here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2aUl4OMoNpoj7s&pp=ygUlMjAwNyBob25kYSBhY2NvcmQgYWlyYmFnIHJlcGxhY2VtZW50IA%3D%3D

[@puresinn6996]

Well damn. Went to replace my cc switch, and someone had already been in and messed up the pin connector. Now to get it working, I'm gonna have to get that redone. 😢

[@chfyak]

Awesome, Thanks! I have the same problem on my Accord...just ordered the switch.

[@chfyak]

Got'er done. Worked great....thanks again.

[@buzziebee714]

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!

[@peshealy]

I wasn't able to remove the connectors either. I replaced the parts with the board still hooked up. It works fine now.

[@desibro08]

Thank you so much! I just received the part and it took me about 15 minutes to get it all done.

[@clintathusaz]

Yes! Good work!

[@alhoughton5205]

I have a 2011 CRV. I removed the screws but couldn't get the cluster removed (I was pulling pretty hard and was worried that I might break something).

[@effychase62]

Excellent tutorial. I now know how to fix this exact problem on my 2007 V6 EXL Coupe. Thanks!

[@clintathusaz]

Thanks!!

[@effychase62]

@@clintathusaz BTW, I ordered the Mouser part after watching your tutorial. The part was just $2.12

[@sassed12many]

I ordered the switch and replaced it successfully. $2.64 + $7.92 shipping. Dealer wanted $100 diagnosis charge, $189 for the part + tax. 1,000 man points for the Clint's Garage

[@clintathusaz]

Yesssss!! Thank you for the comment and sending man points my way!

[@meenam300zx]

You would think with all the cruise control issues Honda has with every model (CRV, Accord & Odyssey), they would put this as a recall. We need a class action lawsuit if you ask me.

[@DaminalTheAminal]

CAR GOD!!! Thank you!!! I have an 07 with the same issue... You just got a subscriber for life!!! Any tips on how to fix the glove box latch on an 07 Accord (V6 4 Door EX-L)? I can still use the 'ole "pull the rod" trick, but want to just fix it in a way that the cheap rod connection point will not break on me again... Any advice would be welcomed.

[@clintathusaz]

Thank you! Sorry no ideas on the glove box but best or luck figuring out a solution!

[@nephilim5]

Uh, unscrewing the module is incredibly difficult. I wish we had had a bit more instruction or tips on this.

[@arthurloveschickens___3984]

My husband cant find a little ever

[@braydonmotivation141]

So my cruise control lights are working but cruise doesn't engage. Do you think one of the buttons in the modules is stuck? Should I replace this? It's not the brake lights I already checked

[@TheJXB1]

Oustanding video, Dude. You saved me tons of time and money. Much appreciated. Thanks!!!!

[@RJ6AV6]

Heck yeah! Thanks for making this vid 👍👌

[@WisMAPD]

Would that technique work on the opposite side for My volume control ect.... ?

[@waynepinto3096]

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

[@clintathusaz]

Thanks for the comment! I love hearing it!

[@surfcitylocal]

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!

[@clintathusaz]

Mark TAZ Graves Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you were able to get it fixed the right way for cheap!
