How to Remove KIA Sedona Cruise Control

The Kia Sedona cruise control unit is secured to the steering column with two screws. The cruise control monitors vehicle speed and controls the throttle using an electronic switch device. This allows the driver to set the speed he wishes to travel without having to manually work the accelerator pedal. When this switch fails, know how to remove it so that you can replace it with a working switch.
