Hi, my cruise control does not engage at all nor does the light on the dash come on when the switch is turned on. I went to the dealer and they said it was the main switch to the left of the dash. I replaced it and it didn’t fix the problem. I’ve checked the brake switch as well and that is fine. Can someone offer any other things to check that I may have missed? ---

[Honda Cruise Control Fix With A Penny - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjWIuuM3Muc) all you really needed to do was loosen the Brake Light switch and put it in further then tighten it back into the holder, they have a threaded portion to adjust them over time for this reason. I posted video to show what the problem could be. ---

See if any of the brake lights are out. The cruise won’t work with a burned out brake light. Tester ---

Brake lights are all good. Another idea? ---

I tried the penny trick and it didn’t work. Any other ideas? ---

did the dealer replace that switch or did you? if it was the dealer did it fix the cruise control? I am guessing you just asked the dealer and you just changed it. did you check for a blown fuse? check any vacuum hoses going to the cruise control actuator. if they are good it may be the actuator. ---

I changed the switch. It was an easy plug and play not worth $75 install fee. I will check vacuum lines. Another thread someone mentioned the clock spring as a possible issue. However, my horn is working and SRS light isn’t on so I thought those often go hand in hand with clock spring issues. Perhaps not I suppose if it’s just the cruise wiring into the clock spring. `Preformatted text` ---

I checked the main fuses #4 and #10 under dash. And all the fuses under the hood. ---
