How to Remove the Cruise Control on a 2003 Mazda B4000

The cruise control servo signals the computer to hold the cruise control table at a certain point, allowing the gas pedal to be depressed at a steady position. Over time, the servo and linkage can wear excessively, rendering the cruise control system inoperable. However, most vehicle owners can remove the cruise control servo and linkage on a 2003 Mazda B4000 themselves, without taking the vehicle to a professional mechanic or Mazda dealership.

Things You'll Need

• Socket set
• Needle-nose pliers

Instructions

1. Unplug the electrical connection to the cruise control servo, located on the right-front fender in the engine compartment. The servo is approximately the size of a fist.

2. Unscrew the mounting bolts holding the servo to the fender with a socket wrench. Pull the servo up from the fender.

3. Pull the end of the cruise control cable away from the throttle body link bracket with needle-nose pliers. Guide the end of the cable over the throttle body link bracket.

4. Pull the cruise control servo and attached cruise control cable from the engine compartment.
