When I push the cruise control on/off button to turn on the cruise control, it doesn't work. If I push it multiple times, quickly, it does turn on occasionally. I believe it is a bad on/off switch and needs to be replaced. What is the procedure for replacing the on/off switch at the end of the cruise control arm in this car?
Thanks,
Bob

I'm trying to remember the 01. Is the button part of the multi-function switch?

Most likely, it's the switch then.
