Yes, it probably is the brake switch. It must be working properly for the cruise control to work. If the part you got did not come from a car with cruise control, it will only have two electrical posts and not the four that you need.
If it is the right part, it must be turned in until the button is pushed completely, but not so far that it begins to actuate the master cylinder. Please report your results.

2009 honda accord brake lights not working center brake light does work

First check the brake light fuse. If this is good check the brake switch located just above the brake pedal. When the brake is pressed the switch comes out and causes the brake lights to come on. If this is the problem the cruise control should not work because the cruise system thinks the break is pressed and this is one of the ways to disengage the cruise control.

I can't set the cruise control on my 2002 Honda Accord 4 cyclinder

Are you looking for the cruise button inside the car ? it is on the dash, steering wheel, or blinker lever, if you are looking for it under the hood it is tucked back toward the firewall.

2000 honda accord v6, auto. all the lights on the

The lights have nothing to do with your car not going in reverse. I know this is going to sound silly but, are you releasing the parking brake? That brake is the lever between the front seats. Are you taking your foot off the brake?

I know they sound silly but you would be surprised at how often this happens with th eparking brake.

When you put the car in reverse can you feel the transmission engaging? You should feel a slight **** when you put it in reverse with your foot on the brake. If you are not feeling this, your transmission needs to be repaired.

Horn dose not work and tranmission locks in park, I belive the fuss is blown,

I may can help with the transmision part. Will your cruise work? If not,this is your fix.
Sitting in the driver seat, to the left of the gear shift is a small tab that says shift lock overide. Pop this tab off and push a small screw driver down until it releases the lock while trying to shift into gear . To fix the problem replace the brake light/cruise control switch. (can be found at most auto zone stores $40-60). It is a pin switch located just above the brake pedal. Mash the brake an you will be able to see it operate. Easy to replace.

Cruise control isn't working

just had the same problem... also noticed that my rear brake lights didn't work... sounds like two separate problems but as I did more research, found that both function off of a "brake light switch" that is located under the dash next to the brake pedal. Have someone look at your brake lights to verify that they are working... If not then most likely same problem I had....

In my case, the wear and tear on that switch caused a small plastic clip on the switch to break such that the brake lever never made contact to trigger the switch to turn on the brake lights and never allowed the cruise to engage.

Probably other potential causes but thought I would add since I experienced cruise control problem recently in my grand prix.

Replacement is very easy... and switch was only $12 at Advanced Auto Parts.

The cruise control on my 1993 Honda Accord LX, automatic 4 cylinder works sometimes and sometimes not. It worked three days ago. It wouldn't work the next day. The following day it would. Now it won't...

There are three switches that must be on in order for the cruise to work. There is the main switch on the dash, there is a switch on the shift lever, and there is a switch on the brake pedal. The next time the cruise does not work, first pull the brake pedal up with your foot and try to set it again. If that does not work, try wiggling the shift lever. This may be a good place to start. My bet is with the brake switch. If that is the problem, it needs a minor adjustment and an easy fix.
