Having problem with main cruise control / audio switches on the steering wheel on Honda Accord 2003-2007? Perhaps replacing the control switches would be one of the ways to fix the problem you might have such as malfunction, broken or the buttons stopped latching.
It is very easy to do, require minimal tools and only take a few minutes. Genuine new Honda OEM parts might be somewhat expensive but you might be able to get it cheaper with aftermarket parts or even from the junk yard.
This video should help you get some ideas on how to remove, replace and install these control switches. On some models such as DX, only the cruise control is available, but for the LX & EX models, there’s also an audio control switch on the left side of the steering wheel.
This video was done on a 2004 Accord 2.4L (which is the same as 2003, 2005, 2006 & 2007). The process should be similar to many other Honda or Acura models such as Civic, CRV, Element, Pilot & Odyssey.
Here are some of the things you might want to consider when trying to diagnose or troubleshoot your broken switches. If you only have one control switch (which is main cruise), then perhaps an easiest and cheapest method to solve the problem might be to swap the unit with a new one. If that doesn’t work, then you may need to check the continuity of your brake switch on top of the brake pedal or replace the cable reel / clock spring, especially if both of your switches are not working at the same time. It would be rare for both switches to be broken simultaneously.

My 03 accord cruise control buttons work but the radio control buttons don't work. Think that's the switch or clock spring? Thanks for the video!
My doesn't have a clip. It's two white connectors soldered to the board.
so if none of the buttons work on audio side, the clock spring is broken?
Do you know which power steering fluid has the best viscosity to use as self-satisfaction to completion lubricant?

THis is a good video. If you want to replace the whole switch and aren't comfortable talking electric parts apart this is all you need to watch. If you are deeper into DIY watch this other video for how to replace the guts of the broken switch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA-4Jc9j6sw
Hi, where you buy the switches from? Tia.
Do you know about the actual "cruise control" button. I'm looking for that button itself. I have a Honda fit sport09.. saw someone had a part number for accord honda. Not sure if that one would fit mine.
What size screwdriver do i use?
How did u remove the horn cover?
Hi, very good video, I have an Accord 06 LX, but it does not have the controls on the steering wheel,
Do you think I can adapt them?
I was going to buy the audio controls but both the audio and the cruise are coming, however the harness is bigger than the entry I have on the steering wheel, my input is similar to yours with 5 pins.
what do you think?
hola, muy buen video, tengo un Accord 06 LX, pero no tiene los controles en el volante,
¿crees que los pueda adaptar?
Iba a comprar los controles de audio pero vienen ambos , el de audio y el de crucero, sinembargo el arnes es mas grande que la entrada que tengo en el volante, mi entrada es similar a la tuya de 5 pines.
what do you think?
