Sonata Cruise Control Buttons - not working, how to fix Set and Cancel buttons

[@joshuabuilds3051]

I spent thirty minutes with a socket wrench and an air compressor and this fix worked. Driving 25 hours without it would have sucked. Thank you.

[@R1VideosdotCom]

You're welcome! After doing this fix I'm still good with no issues at all. Cruise and the other buttons still working great!

[@jamesabarela]

I laughed at the airbag removal part where you couldn't find the bottom hole and I said to myself "he could have just turned the steering wheel so it was more easily accessible" easy oversight.

[@robfrancis264]

Took me about an hour but this did the trick for my 2011 Sonata; although, I had to spray the contacts with electrical contact cleaner and unplug/plug the connector about 10 times. The Hyundai dealer gave me a $450 estimate to replace either the Clock Ring or the Cruise Control Computer!!

[@R1VideosdotCom]

So glad it worked for you too! Mine is still working like a charm

[@kouno]

I don't know if my problem is the same cause all my other buttons are acting funny as well. when I press the volume button on my steering wheel, my voice command activates. All of my cruise control buttons are dead. I tried this method and nothing. Still the same so I am planning on replacing the clock spring to see if that fixes the problem and I will report back.

[@jacobtwaddle9648]

Was your horn not working too? My buttons don't work but neither does my horn. I'm buying some electrical parts cleaner to try this, but suspect the clock spring since neither are working. I also replaced both the fuses

[@AmyLombardi]

Did that fix it? Have the same problem. And the display won’t change screens when you press that button either.

[@Dntlookfame]

My horn went out and later I found out my trip button was out as well gonna try this tomorrow since it’s late right now hopefully it gets to working again

[@leodiaz5782]

none of my button work. I’m going to have to try this out and see if that’s the issue. My horn doesn’t work either.

[@soscobra]

This same issue started for me today. I need to find a hex key.

[@aaescamilla0215]

Did you end up solving the issue? Im curious since I am now experiencing the same thing.

[@ashrafbinkhubran5026]

@@aaescamilla0215if the horn is not working as well and probably the airbag sign came on it must be the clock spring behind the driver airbag easy fix

[@RukarioEnterprisesLLC]

Mine is a 2011 Sonata that cruise control doesn't work. I can be able to turn on and off the light, but it cannot hold speed when I go to set it :/

[@Veraelasia]

I have a 2011 hyundai elantra that's having the same issue. I'm going to try this after work today and pray that it works. If it works, you're the best and thank you for potentially saving me thousands for a fix.

[@CuriousKev]

did it work??

[@Veraelasia]

@@CuriousKev I unfortunately haven't tried yet. Hopefully soon. I'll reply when I do.

[@R1VideosdotCom]

It has been working for me like a charm ever since I made the video. No problems at all so far and saved me money and a trip to the dealership

[@terrywalters5410]

Dielectric grease is made for electrical connections and could also help keep things connected 👍

[@katarpar7]

I have a 2011 sonata, none of my steering column buttons work and neither does my horn, I checked the fuses and it's not that. Can you help?

[@nikabrown3834]

Did u figure it out?

[@stallionranchwoodworks]

It is your clock spring, its bad. There is a extended warranty on those for 15 yrs.

[@commanderkush3409]

Oh wow ima check this out helpful info

[@streetcamguy]

HELL YEAHHHHH!!! Buddy thanks for the tip. Worked great. I used CRC electrical contact cleaner instead of compressed air. Adding your video to my sonata repair playlist! 💯

[@R1VideosdotCom]

@@streetcamguy rock on man, so glad it helped you! Mine is still hummin along with no issues (updated 11/19/24)

[@RoxasRealm]

Do you think this will also work for the Elantras? Everything but my set/resume (which is rare if it does) button works and I drive long distances very often. I dont want to have to purchase a new set of buttons when thats the only one that isnt working 100%.

[@af31ns]

If still not working, you could try to clean the pins with a q-tip and various cleaners such as canned electrical or brake cleaners, lemon juice, or vinegar. If you google cleaning copper, most videos are focused on trying to remove corrosion, but more often, copper connectors get a film-like layer of oxidation that doesn't look like corrosion and might not even look like there's a problem. So just to be sure my contacts are good, I'm rubbing the pins with vinegar and then pushing them in and out of the connections. Then I'm repeating this with the q-tip dipped in distilled water to remove the vinegar. Then let dry before final assembly.

[@ChrisNeary86]

Going to try compressed air + Wd40 electrical contact cleaner (dielectric grease) on mine this afternoon. 👍

[@ElBrodito]

Thanks for the video. Question... Are the volume buttons connected to the same connector?

[@R1VideosdotCom]

I have to assume so because I had issues with my volume buttons but now everything works.

[@handyric]

pour ma part le probleme a été résolu en changeant le '' Clock Spring''qui se trouve derriere le volant,pour le boutton ''set control'' et il y avais aussi le voyant airbag qui s'allumais occasionnellement,

[@allieanderson85]

How much did it cost to change the clock spring?

[@jamesabarela]

I have the same intermittent cruise control working not working then it went to slapping the buttons kinda hard and that would work, then it moved to slapping the buttons hitting the top of the steering wheel, then it went to slapping the buttons pounding the top of the steering wheel while slightly turning the wheel left or right, it's become a ritual for me I tell ya, but now it just plain doesn't even turn on anymore and I've replaced the buttons, then I replaced the clock spring and still nothing. Very frustrating as I was a religious cruise user set it and forget it otherwise I speed and get in trouble

[@adelhaiba]

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a wheel that have cruise control for my sonata, although the original one doesn't have it, I have only Trip/Reset/Mode on the right, and Tune-up and down/volume control and mute, I wonder if it will activate the extra functionality??, will it work?

[@arianmartinez5529]

No

[@talhajoharr1000]

in my sonata thats the same problem but i try same you done but its not working can you help me?

[@R1VideosdotCom]

repeat the process, remove connector and push it back in and out several times, maybe try to clean the pins (using the comment above), move the wire like I did. This fix is all i did and it worked for me 100% and everything still works perfectly to date 2/7/22. Hope this helps you!

[@brt-jn7kg]

My daughter has a 2005 Hyundai sonata it is a automatic transmission car. The brake switch is fine and I replace the switches on the steering wheel but still has no Cruise control. It does have a bad clock spring other than the bad clock spring and that switch on the gear selector underneath it sometimes can cause cruise controls not to function anything else I could be looking for? It's kind of been real pain in the ass

[@DiI-s8v]

Bruh i cannot wait to try this! I havent been able to use cruise in a long time. Ffingers crossed

[@R1VideosdotCom]

Mine are still working like a charm ever since I did it on my Sonata. Hope it's the fix you need!

[@ddognon469]

I want to pay for a 2011 sonata, would you recommend the GDI engine or the DOHC engine in terms of engine performance .

[@jamesabarela]

Ha!!!!

[@jamesabarela]

As sexy of a car as they are, they have major engine failure problems but I have the 2.0 turbo and boy just she have some pep in her step, and amazing handling especially at high speeds. Saved my life on a few ocassions from over correcting

[@fordsmith5104]

@R1 You saved me man, thanks for this! Been needing to replace the buttons on my sonata and I gave up last time I tried to figure it out. Didn’t realize how simple it actually is to get that dang cover off. Wish you’d made this video like 6 months ago haha!

[@WiskiRedz]

Still working for me 100% of the time now. The fix worked perfectly!

Mine's not working at all. 2007 Hyundai Sonata

[@nomercy2968]

Thank you for saving 100's of dollars in visits to the dealer.

[@MysticHaya]

I tried but my airbag doesn’t pop up i am not sure why

[@bwbeckn]

This worked perfectly for me! Thank you!

[@foxychick102ify]

So I’m having this problem but I’m a little afraid to mess with the airbag. How safe is this?

[@ChrisNeary86]

Not sure if you're still apprehensive or this might help someone else but: I had my paddle shifters go out which shorts out your floor shifters + and - controls, and for that I removed the full wheel. To do it safely I was probably overly paranoid but followed another KZbin vid. I did this: - remove negative terminal - turn on all the lights on and off, to drain any residual current from the 'hot' circuits - wait 30+ mins before removing airbag - if unclipping and taking out the airbag, lay it face down in case of it firing off/malfunctioning. This way it won't spring up and catapult in the air. The bare minimum is probably OK just doing step 1 and 2 though - but better to be safe than have the airbag go off.

[@madjpey1]

My issue is the trip button mainly but the others act up occasionally as well. Never had a clue about how to do this..... Have looked all over for the last year! My son now owns this vehicle. Going to try this next time I see him

[@R1VideosdotCom]

Ever since I did this fix all buttons have been working 100% of the time and it didn't cost a dime!

[@bobpeticolas121]

The issue IS often in the buttons themselves. If so, you can feel the difference in the buttons.

[@virtualmorality]

No go on mine. I used flat Weems of drill bit that just did for into holes. Released air bag/ horn easily.

[@ryanclaxton1762]

this saved me $200 for the diagnostics alone..

[@frederickgirvan1280]

Well it worked for how long not sure. I used contact cleaner on the terminals instead of air. As to why this should fix the problem not sure. Maybe disconnecting the battery and jack may have reset something . But thanks for the help.

Hyundai makes shitty cars... most random accessory failures

[@CWTGD]

No they don’t

[@ChrisNeary86]

Well they kinda do. The problem is that all auto makers are cutting corners. He has a point - Kia & Hyundai have had so many issues but even Toyota has had concerning recalls. However my particular car is still going strong over 200k with the class action engine #2 and regular maintenance. That being said I don't think I would consider buying another Hyundai after this one.

[@newphone3594]

@@ChrisNeary86 they claim they have the best warranty but it's all fake. My car has a problem with losing 1qt of oil every 1000 miles and it is covered under the engine recall, however after 3 appointments at the dealer they lie to me that my car doesn't lose any oil and it's all fine. All they do is wait for the extended warranty to run out then they will be able to charge me for a full price of an engine. Never ever buying another Hyundai/Kia product. Here is a bonus I talked to one their sales person and asked him if the new ones also have the oil burning issue and he said unfortunately yes. That tells you this company doesn't not known how to make reliable engines. They have only become really good at designing to fool customers into buying them for looks.

[@jamesabarela]

Anybody else had an issue where the cruise control would actively turn on by itself, and set at whatever speed it felt necessary (even if it's 80 mph in a 25 mph zone) and you couldn't disengage it via the brake pedal only thru turning the ignition completely off which is dangerous, or pressing the steering wheel buttons in a certain combination for it to turn off, after you got it turned off the brakes would lock up and car wouldn't not move and. Check engine, esp, traction control lights all lit up on the dash? I felt it was a pretty serious deal so I have the car towed to the dealership but they didn't seem to think that it was a big deal at all that I was overreacting that my car was speeding out of control by itself yeah that's safe let your wife drive my car and see how safe she is.
