How to remove the Cruise button ?
I cant get my cruise control to come on on my 2006 XC90 2.3. I have searched the forum and am aware that it could be the brake sensor connection - or something else that a code read would uncover. However, I am reasonably convinced it is the steering wheel button that is at fault. It has gone "stiff" to move and seems to rock on the corners if you press at those points. Pressing in the middle (as you should) doesn't effect much movement. Closer visual inspection seems to show some material on the side of the switch - maybe rubber or leather from the wheel, that is impeding the action.
I was going to try blasting canned air through it and/or some electrical contact cleaner but other posts have suggested that the button can be popped off to allow better cleaning and trimming off of any offending material. So I would like to try that first. Can anyone advise the best way to "pop" the button off and back on - prying from how many/which points, how much force to apply, what tools to use, and any other things to look out for. I would hate it to go the way of the last computer keyboard I tried to clean by popping of the keys ! Thanks John |

It's a step too far for me at this stage. This thread (post number 7) suggests that the individual buttons can be removed from the 3 button module whilst "in situ" and so circumvent the palava. I am hoping that someone can support that that is possible and describe in more detail how to do it. https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-...problem-46329/ Cheers John |

I would just try the canned air first, you might not need to remove the button at all

If you have access to VIDA you can test the buttons (i.e. it will tell you if they are pressed).

You cant take the buttons off with out removing the airbag first.
If you remove the airbag following the guides on here then you can see the screws that hold the buttons on easily. |

Whooo Hoooo.... Let's hear it for canned air ! I had a little rootle around the button with a very thin putty knife and then several blasts of air seemed to blow out some crap - and now "cruise control" is restored !
Just from the "feel" with the knife I have almost convinced myself that it would pop off with the right technique - it just feels like a "keyboard key". If it plays up again, I could always get a cheapo one off of eBay and test the theory on that one. |
