Toyota Tacoma Cruise Control Fix | 2006-2015 | The REAL Issue

This is a video describing my struggle with my 2009 Toyota Tacoma cruise control not working. The part that fixed the issue was new spiral cable AKA clock spring.

If you turn the steering 90ish degrees either way and test the cruise switch and it works… the problem is the clock spring.

[@stevenrussell7966]

Amazing pro tip! My cruse hasn't worked in a couple years. I turned the wheel all the way and hit cruise and it came on. Now I know it's the clock spring

[@JeremiahWhite]

Great tip, super easy diagnosis

[@matheard3572]

Aha! Thank you, sir!

[@elmoci3277]

Thank you. I also thought it was the cruise control switch but after watching your video I replaced the clock spring and now my cruise control works. Thank you very much for your video.

[@jeffbarden2588]

Thanks, Joshua! Replacing the spiral cable fixed the cruise control on my 2008 Lexus IS250. $17 fix. You saved me a bundle.

Toyota dealership wanted $280.00 for a new oem clock spring ! I gave this bloke a serve over the phone saying i can get an aftermarket one off a company that refurbishes clock springs for $70.00 !

What made the clock spring bad in first place ?

[@AdamRichard-bz9in]

Thanks dude, the clock spring was what I was thinking. I first changed the clutch position sensor, then the switch with no luck. Next is the clock spring

[@rodneybooth4069]

Glad to see this, already replaced two cruise switches and both intermittely and than quit.

[@vicmd2868]

Did not know about the spiral cable/clock spring. Having similar issue in a 208 Tundra. Now to decide which one is the real culprit!

[@gw877]

Thank you, my 2009 has the same issues.

[@Wheelabarraback]

Thanks very much for posting it helped me

[@waynesmith5629]

Yep you nailed it, thanks!

[@JORYSEGURA]

Very well explained thank you so much for sharing your experience I appreciate it

[@eyesky6809]

Going to try this! Thanks!

[@salparadise2006]

Thanks for the info bro!

[@junaidgt90]

this is the SPOt-on to the point video i was searching for. In my case of prado 2013, cruise doesnt engage, and i have the SKID icon (yellow), and steering icon (red) lit all the time. So yes i will go for this steering angle sensor part. thanks a lot

[@berardia4]

thanks I'll look into the clock spring as my cruise light works fine.

[@relr131NicaKid]

Al's Repair and Restoration, hi that is my situation. Light on cruise control lights up but it won't engage. Did changing clock spring fix your problem? Thanks in advance.

[@berardia4]

@@relr131NicaKid mine is intermittent but since Covid I'm not driving to work so I did not try a repair. Sorry

[@relr131NicaKid]

@@berardia4 no worries, thank you for the info though. Stay well my friend.

[@cobusvanderwalt5147]

Mate when your clock spring didn’t work die your horn stop working and did the airbag light also came on your dash? Cheers

[@tbrpaintball]

The cruise control in my 08 also works intermittently, but the audio controls always work, was that the case for you as well?

[@360dabz5]

My 2006 Tacoma (manual) has a problem with the cruise control. It turns on but it blinks constantly and won’t engage and do it’s job which is make so I don’t have to hold onto the gas pedal. Anyone have any idea of what to do?

[@thegrimreaper819]

Thanks!!!

[@joshuamcmillin289]

You're welcome!

[@buildingourhomestead0]

My cruise control light is intermittent the same way you described, when you did get the cruise light to come on did it also exhibit other issues too? Mine has a hard time functioning even when the system does turn on. Thanks for the video :)

[@joshuamcmillin289]

Yeah even when it did come on sometimes I would still lose control over the accel and decel functions. I'd say you should replace the clock spring.

[@amooms4000]

Good to the point video. Thank you for making it.

[@IDGAF56852]

Well my cruise control disengages sometimes when im driving,no problems with the dash light coming on,i replaced the clock spring but im told my problem is with the brake light switch as it also controls the cruise control disengagement. I have a 05 camry v6,i have a new brake light switch that im going to install and hopefully that fixes the problem,if it continues to disengage intermittently then it has to be the stork like you have shown here.

[@intercommerce]

That's exactly the problem I was having, bought new switch for nothing.

[@joshuamcmillin289]

Yeah it seemed like that might of been the problem but just wasn't...

[@davidheroux257]

What is the pieces number please? I would like to buy on ebay or amazon

Awesome vid, not helpful for me but it will be for someone

[@emmanuelcleatus5422]

😂

[@tomasfalkenberg6008]

I’m have the same problem with my 2009 Toyota Tacoma cruise control. Exactly like the same problem you were having.

[@TheFreedomfighter77]

Way too wordy and doesn't really address the "how to fix this."

[@joshuamcmillin289]

Thank you for watching.
