CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEMS
« on: June 16, 2008, 04:48:49 PM »

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??? :

Check the adjustment of your throttle cables if not correct sometimes the roll off swicth acts crazy.

My cruise light has NEVER turned green; it's always red when the cruise switch is on, speed set or not.  Dealer replaced tach thinking the light was bad.  No.  Dealer replaced module. No.  (No cost to me.)  I oughta make one more claim on my ext en ded wa___anty, but I hate the hassle. 
So, I just guess at whether or not it's engaged... hell, I find out sooner or later anyway.  :P

You'd think the moco could at least get the cruise control to work.  I mean chit it ain't rocket science - they've had 'em in cars for 30+ years and the seem to work ok.  Had major problems on my '99 and intermittent problems on my '06 and now my '07.  Hope they get yours fixed.  Good luck.

I have had similar problems with my cruise control.  Turns out it was the front brake light activating and cutting the cruise off.  I also had the bracket that holds the end of the throttle cables brake (which prevented the cruise from working.

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 takes one heck of an engineer to screw up proven reliable technology.

Hmmm, I wonder if the engineering staff for the Yugo has relocated to Milwaukee?   :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

You know, I've been wondering that same thing for several years now.  You know those folks had to go somewhere for new jobs, maybe they were beer lovers and decided to relocate to Milwaukee. :nixweiss:
