The original imported Xiao Ou has been in service for more than 10 years, but the cruise control button has been a little sluggish since the first two years. I once asked my fourth son, saying that parts need to be ordered and take a long time, and that it takes thousands to replace modules and repair them. Since fixed speed cruising is mainly used for high-speed and long-distance distances, I didn’t dare to run around in the past few years and ignored it. In the second half of last year, the cruise control button almost completely failed and couldn’t be used. The long-distance high-speed feet were too tired. I wanted to confirm that the condition of my family’s car was normal before the Spring Festival and was good for the New Year. I went to find my fourth son. The result was similar to the previous one. The parts cost 980 yuan, plus the replacement labor cost about 1300 yuan to complete the repair. Asked if it could be removed for repair, but said it was impossible. Their technicians did not have the same level to repair fixed speed cruise assemblies. After returning home, I was working on a Baoso button assembly while considering looking for a roadside store to see if it could be repaired or replaced. A certain treasure was quickly found and was a genuine agent for 205 yuan. But I asked several shops that had repaired them and thought their skills were good, but they all said that they didn’t dare to accept the repair until they had been repaired, for fear that it would be troublesome if they couldn’t repair it. Finally, I went to the shop near Hongpailou, which was also frequently maintained, and found my eldest brother to see if he could repair it. In the end, he started working without saying a word。It only cost a pack of cigarettes to repair it.
In fact, after removing this accessory, it looked too simple. It only had a few pieces of plastic parts and a few button switches and a few wires. There were not even electronic components. According to PDD standards, it only cost about ten yuan and no more than 20 yuan. A certain treasure sold for more than 200 yuan, and the four sons were even darker. It would be too expensive to remove the “9” on the front.
I watched the whole process of disassembling and repairing this piece. The next time something goes wrong or the left volume button fails, you can completely remove it and repair it yourself. It’s almost as simple as repairing and cleaning the TV remote control. The key lies in the first few steps, including this time. The tuition fee was not in vain. Sharing it can be used as a reference for general hands-on skills. If your car encounters similar failures, you can completely DIY yourself. There is no need to be a fool.

The right cruise control button fails. In fact, the left volume adjustment button can also be renovated DIY by following the steps below.

The right cruise control button has completely failed

Remember to first press down the steering wheel lock lever behind the steering lever and withdraw the steering wheel as far as your chest is concerned.

Pay attention to the steering wheel lock lever position

The steering wheel can only be turned 90 degrees clockwise when it is ignited

At this time, the Phillips screws of the button assembly can be easily removed on the back of the button

Now you can start slowly and carefully pulling out the assembly from the edge. Be aware that there is no need to remove the airbag in the middle. Some masters have no experience and think that the airbag in the middle must be removed before the two modules on both sides can be removed.

It’s better to have this red tool. If you don’t have it, you can use a flat-cut knife to carefully open it without damaging the panel.

Carefully remove the assembly

Confirm the only connection line with the vehicle

Pull off the cable plug

Remove the assembly and you are halfway done

First blow off the dust with a high-pressure gun, and then clean it carefully and thoroughly with alcohol

First use a rubber sassafras to wipe the oxides on the metal surface repeatedly, and then thoroughly clean it with an alcohol cotton swab. This is the key to the success or failure of this maintenance!

Then you reverse the steps and reinstall them, and you’re done
