For all the people who used the penny, 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. Great idea for those who don't have any car knowledge but an easy adjustment for those who do. Great video!

hey guys, what happens when you push in the clutch (or brake if automatic trans)? The cruise control doesnt know to turn off right? So does the engine just rev? I know you can press the CRUISE button to turn it off, but what if you didnt Im just wondering

People, just adjust the length of that sensor, unscrew, set the correct length and screw again. It is pretty easy, I guess from time to time, you have to check it because it can cause your cruise control to stop working and also the brake lights, or if adjusting it doesn´t solve anything, you need to change that piece. Very useful video though, it made me realize what the problem was in my 2012 honda civic.

Just bought an 99 Accord yesterday for a daily driver/work car and this just saved the day! My commute to and from work will be so much more enjoyable now. Thank you so much.

I had the same doubt about this being the fix, because I had recently replaced the disintegrated bumper with a new rubber bumper to fix my "brake lights always on" problem. So when my CC went missing, I checked to see that the new bumper was still in place and that the brake lights were still turning off when the pedal was not pushed. So I thought the CC Cancel function would still be working in conjunction with the brake light on/off circuit. Turns out the CC Cancel activation occurs at a point a little "further in" in the travel of the push button plunger of the brake light switch. So if the rubber bumper has even a small indent, the plunger remains sticking just a little bit out, and the CC Cancel function kicks in, even if the brake light function still works. Solution is to replace the soft rubber bumper with one made from a harder rubber, or nylon, like I did, and now everything works properly. Thanks Jeff, from another satisfied viewer !!!

I love it! Can't wait to try it this weekend. Thanks Jeff!

Thanks for the tip! Went on a long drive yesterday and mine stop working (would not set, 2007 CRV), The plastic stopper was indented by the switch enough to tell the system brake was touched. As we know, just touching the brake pedal deactivates the cruise. I never had an issue with the brake lights staying on which is common when the plastic stop is badly worn or missing. You can buy a replacement on aliexpress for $2 but I just silicone a dime on the face of the stop and all is good. Note the indent from the switch in the stop was not centered, so turning it 180 deg would probably get it working for a while.

Thank you so much! I got it fixed and now I can commute to work without worrying about speeding

There you go! Amazing advice and a simple fix on a 1988 Prelude. I used a nickel, (we don't have pennies in Canada). I now have Cruise Control !!! Meantime, my local "HONDA DEALERSHIP" told me that the whole system needed replacing due to the age. They are IDIOTS!!! It would have cost me over $5000 (parts & labor) for them to replace what they said was needed and even then, the system would not work because all the parts were fine except for a $2.00 rubber stopper. They would have replaced several components that didn't need replacing, and in the end, I would pay a fortune for replacements that my car didn't need. AND BEST OF ALL, (sorry, cap's were required here) my Cruise Control still wouldn't work. A simple worn rubber gasket was causing the problem. I fixed my Cruise Control and it cost me 5 cents and a piece of electrical tape. Thank you so much for the advice!!!

Nice video. An alternative is to reposition the switch instead. This switch itself is threaded and locks into a nut installed above the brake pedal. I found this out by buying a new switch and realized that the original switch can be readjusted or repositioned against the rubber grommet as shown in the video. The switch comes out by a turning it a 1/4 turn counter clockwise. Now the switch can be reinserted to make contact with the grommet as needed. Once in the correct position, just turn it clockwise to lock it in place.

Thanks man you’re brilliant. Firstly I’d just like to say you sound exactly like Steve Carell lol ... Anyway I just bought an auto honda Frv with cruise control. The cruise control main power comes on but it wouldn’t allow me to set a speed. I bought the car anyway hoping to fix it as the car was so cheap. Seller told me that most likely the set switch button on the steering wheel just needed replacing. Had to drive 100 miles home with no cruise control. Anyway got home and intended to go about buying another control switch. After some research I found your video. I was very excited to try it as cruise control is really important for me. I went out at night and found the brake release switch but I saw that it was allowing the brake lights to work so I thought it can’t be a faulty brake release switch. I then attempted to remove the cruise control buttons from the steering wheel which was very fiddly but it wouldn’t come out. So I went back home and thought I’d read the comments to check for any tips. I then came across a comment talking about how the brake lights coming on doesn’t mean anything and the penny would still be required for cruise control. I thought ok great, some hope. The next morning nice and early I went under and taped a penny on to the brake lever. Went for a drive and cruise control worked perfectly! Brilliant. Your penny trick saved me alot of pounds. Now I can proceed to love the car. But one thing I would request, please write in the description that this trick would work even tho the brake lights work. Just to avoid confusion.

@Nat W, you’re welcome. I’m glad you can now enjoy your CC.

My brake light stopper completely broke off. It drained my battery because the brake lights stayed on. Was hoping fixing it would also fix my cruise control problem. Will find out tomorrow.

a penny also fixes the OTHER cruise control problem, the button wont stay depressed. Use the penny to provide enough friction to keep the cruise button depressed.. while cruising.

You're welcome!

Completely different issue than my 07 Civic where the button's internal latch wont stay engaged. Came here thinking you just wedged a penny between the housing to keep the button on. Left here with my own idea to just super glue the button down and not worry about tearing off my steering wheel or hotwiring the cruise on. Thanks for not helping but lighting the fire of inginuity in me.

@Jacob Sorensen, glad I could help, lol. That happens a lot for me. Watch someone else’s video and come up with my own twist on it. I would suggest clear gorilla glue vs. super glue. Super glue will break down quicker over time.

Awesome man

Just sayinf Thanks so Much for the Help! It really works. One thing to add. As he says "Use Black Electric Tape". It works better than duct tape or masking tape.

@william charnow, it's the little things in life that bring such great joy!

This video is misleading it’s not only a penny it’s also the cost of the 2 inches of tape

Great informational video definitely earned yourself a
