• Q: How to replace the Brake Light Switch for Cruise Control on 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: You need to start your replacement of the cruise control brake switch by taking out the instrument panel left lower closeout panel. You need to disconnect the cruise brake switch connector before rotating the cruise brake switch counterclockwise to remove it from the switch retainer. You should press down on the Brake Pedal to reach the retainer locking tabs before gently pulling on the cruise brake retainer from the Brake Pedal assembly. To install position the cruise brake switch retainer into the Brake Pedal assembly's upper hole so the arrow points at the 3 o'clock position while continuing to extend both ears fully to prevent removal. Install the cruise brake switch within the retainer by positioning the electrical connector index notch at the 1 o'clock mark before you insert it until the plunger fully enters the barrel. The switch rotation until it stops at 60 degrees should confirm proper locking into the retainer when its electrical connector index notch points at 3 o'clock. Pressing the Brake Pedal should be avoided as brake drag will occur during this installation process. The scanner tool should display the cruise brake switch states in the Engine Control Module (ECM) general information data table while testing the Brake Pedal engagement followed by pedal disengagement. First reconnect the cruise brake switch harness before reinstalling the instrument panel left lower closeout panel.
