Symptoms Of A Bad Cruise Control Switch

Your vehicle's cruise control switch or switches allow you to control the vehicle's cruise control system, and may handle functions like turning the system on and off, setting speed, or making speed adjustments. Cruise control switches may be located on the steering wheel, the steering column, or the dash, and may be a single switch or may comprise a cluster of switches or several separate switches. Cruise control switches may suffer wear over time, either due to normal use or electrical system spikes, and the internal contacts may not make a connection when the switch is activated. When the cruise control switch fails, your vehicle may experience issues activating the cruise control system or maintaining and setting cruise speed. This may occur all the time, or the cruise control switch may work temporarily or intermittently. If the cruise control light is not activating or other functions of the cruise control system cannot be controlled properly, you may need to replace your cruise control switch, but a complete diagnosis should be performed to ensure this is the source of the problem. O'Reilly Auto Parts carries replacement cruise control switches, cruise control modules, and more for most vehicles to help you make a complete repair.
