How to Disconnect the Cruise Switch on a 2005 Chevrolet
The cruise control switch on a 2005 Chevrolet gives you automatic control of the cruise control system by turning off the cruise control if you step on the brakes. Without this safety feature, the cruise control would try to accelerate the Chevrolet back to previously set speed as soon as you released the brake, causing a potentially scary and hazardous situation. In the event the cruise control malfunctions, you can simply disconnect the cruise switch to disable the system until you can repair it properly.

Open the 2005 Chevrolet's front door. Move the driver's seat as far back as it will go to provide yourself with as much access to the driver's foot well as possible. Climb under the driver side dash, down by the brake and accelerator pedals.

Shine the flashlight at the area surrounding the brake pedal arm. Locate the cruise switch connector in this area. The connector itself is thin and rectangular in shape, with four wires wrapped in one black wire insulator leading to it.

Grab the connector firmly with your hand and pull it out of the switch manually to disconnect the switch. Latch the wire to the brake pedal arm with a tie wrap to keep it off the floorboard.
