Introduction

For a system that most people use regularly when it comes to driving, the cruise control system can definitely start to malfunction over time, especially in older models of cars. Thankfully for the Honda the biggest issue that ends up happening with this system is simply that the button looses the hold that it use to have when it was new. With this guide, you will be able to replace the switch on your own and fix all your cruising woes. This particular guide is demonstrated on a 2009 Honda Civic.

    • Disconnect your car battery with the 10 mm wrench so as not to shock yourself when working on the car.

    • You don't need to disconnect it completely, just removing one of the connecting cables is adequate.

    • Using your Phillips screwdriver, remove the six screws on the back of the steering wheel and the four main screws connecting the trim to the main steering wheel.

    • To get to some of these screws you might need to move the steering wheel itself, so make sure your key is in the ignition in order to do so.

    • Also to note, two of the screws are slightly hidden and are near the same area of the screws for the airbag.

    • Gently remove the trim from the steering wheel so that you can access the two screws on the back connecting the switch to the wheel.

    • Don't forget to also disconnect the switch itself either at this step or the one prior so that you may actually remove said switch.
