You're starting to sound like me (and that should worry the heck out of you).  I find it totally amazing that H-D has so many issues with systems that have been extremely reliable for decades in the auto industry.  To give you an idea of why I get so pizzed with the constant problems, guess when the last time was that I had a car that required any kind of internal engine repair.  That would be the 1966 third hand VW I drove in college.  Thirty six years of owning and driving those "lousy" American cars everyone likes to dis, and not one internal failure of any drivetrain component.  Only one electronic module failure, and that was back in the early days of electronic ignitions.  One radio failure when the display quit.  My Harley has had more problems all by itself than all of my cars put together.  Really gives one the confidence and desire to go out and buy another one.

It probably thought you weren't going fast enough.  Figured if it kicked out you'd reset it a bit higher :nixweiss: ?


Of course I could be wrong.
You could be right, when it started working again it kicked in when I pushed the resume/accelerate . Every one has told me I'm a bit slow! :biggthumpup:

That is exactly how my problem started.   The new Cruise control module fixed mine.  Like I said before even my green light works

If this stuff keeps up I may have a BMW or Gold Wing in my touring future.

My cruise stopped working.  it was intermittent at times ...and now I get the light to turn green (Sometimes) but the cruise does not work.  When I touch the button to accelerate the light turns red.

Anyone know the fix???  Is it the Module??? :

TRY THIS FIRST!   It worked for me. I had the same intermittent symptoms. Eventually, as I was trying to diagnose this, I got to the connector between the module and the wiring to the module. Using my volt-ohm meter on the pins while cycling my handlebar switch, I found the handle bar cruise control engagement switch was not effectively making and breaking the circuit. This is essential for the module to know what you want. I disassembled the handle bar controls cover to expose the switch and remove it from the housing (the thumb knob will pull off with some gentle persuasion).
Here's the fix. Get some CRC 2-26 Plastic safe multi-purpose precision lubricant (Home Depot, electrical). This has the red tube to direct the spray.  You can't get the switch apart, but you can insert the tube in under the rubber boot where the lever comes out. Spray it good and hold the switch so gravity will help the lube seep into the switch. Cycle that switch about a hundred times to clean and lube the internal contacts. Mine worked like new after this treatment.
I figure I had some moisture corrosion from rain or washing. 2001 SERG. Good Luck.

This is exactly what happened to mine.  It was the Module.  Now everything works great including the green light

Well the bike go's in to the shop tomorrow. The cruse took a dump won't work at all and now I have the check engine light on with a P code error.I'm getting tired of this BS but I guess it's part of owning a Harley now a days. It's sad that they made a great bike for quite a while but now it's like AMF took over again. :beadyeyes2:

SERK3,
Not to say the dealer may be right, but have you tried taking the PCIII out of the loop and running the bike to see how the cruise works?  I don't know why the PCIII would be the culprit, but you just never know these days.  :nixweiss:  Plus, if you take the PCIII off and you still have the problem, then the dealership can't blame it on the PCIII and they will have to fix the issue.  It's just too easy for them to pass problems off on a non-Harley part if they can't figure something out.  So don't give them that option as an excuse.

Well the saga continues, MOCO told the tech to replace ECM to correct the cruise control problem, that did not do the trick. The tech has worked on it off and on for 4 days no luck. The service tech at Harley is going on vacation so they won't be working on the bike until he gets back.[that is not what I want to hear] I have to think that they have issues with there ECM'S and maybe I can get them to try another one today.Have a trip planned for the 1st of August so hopping to resolve ASAP. :(
