• Q: How to replace the cruise control switch on 2009 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The first step when swapping out the cruise control release switch involves taking off the instrument panel left lower closeout panel and the knee bolster. First disconnect the cruise brake switch connector before turning the cruise brake switch counterclockwise to free it from the switch retainer slot; you can use the Brake Pedal to help reach the tab. The brake activation press will help reveal the locking tabs on the retainer. A gentle application of force to the locking tabs on the cruise brake retainer allows you to extract it from the Brake Pedal assembly. When installing the component make sure the indexing arrow points toward the right while both retainer ears remain extended to stop accidental push-out. Before placing the cruise brake switch retainer into the Brake Pedal assembly upper hole position at three o'clock it is essential to avoid pressing the Brake Pedal to prevent brake drag. Insert the cruise brake switch into the retainer's electrical connector index notch at 1 o'clock. Depress the plunger until it reaches full depression before rotating the switch clockwise to the 60-degree travel stop. Attach the cruise brake switch harness connector after double-checking it securely sits in the retainer with the electrical connector index notch at the 3 o'clock position. Reinstall both the knee bolster and the instrument panel left lower closeout panel. The last stage involves checking cruise brake switch in the Engine Control Module (ECM) general information data table with the scan tool to verify applied and released states when you depress and release the Brake Pedal.
