Hi all,

 

So the cruise control buttons on my Skoda Fabia works but the speed down rocker button dont work all the time. I can press the rocker button up to speed up, but if I have to speed down it dont work all the time. However, if I move the control to high beam position - pushing it towards dash board, then the button works. It seems like some wire issue or something is broken inside the handle control. I am not sure how to check or how to open the control to fix any wiring issue that there might be. Anyone know the way to check the wires without opening the whole steering - I really want to avoid that. Or if someone knows there is some other issue here?

I'm virtually sure that you're correct and it needs either lots of time or a proper auto electrician to fix it.

it's not really possible to inspect the wires properly without atleast removing the steering shrouds, and potentially the steering wheel as well.

 

The wires are "inside" the stalk to the rocker switches, they all connect at the end connector / terminals. I would suggest its a "worn" switch contact. Swicth cleaner "may" help if you can get it in there.

 

Maybe easier to replace the stalk tbh.

I was really hopping I can remove some side panel on the handle to access the buttons. There are few videos on youtube that do that but my handle looks different

what videos..........

Weird you say that because mine is the same...

 

If I press down nothing happens, if I press and hold, the cruise just stops working until I release the button again. As for the speed up button, pressing it only increases the speed by like 0.1 MPH at a time, but pressing and holding increases it nicely as it should
