Cruise Conrol problem

 If this has been covered I missed it. This was posted on our PGR forums.


Okay folks, PLEASE take heed to this notice 'cause I'm speaking from very
recent first hand knowledge here.

   ALL HD owners whose ride have cruise control and, especially also having
a cigarette lighter.  Should you ever have the misfortune to be traveling
down the road with your cruise control engaged and, for some reason blow the
accessory fuse, YOUR CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT DISENGAGE BY
THROTTLING/BRAKING/CLUTCHING!!!!!  Those with cigarette lighters, that use
them, already know these can occasionally cause the little 15amp fuse to
blow.  This is especially prevalent if, for some reason, your lighter has
been dropped and has a small dent in it.  That little dent will cause the
housing to straight to ground and blow the fuse, immediately.  The only way
you have of knowing this happened, other than your lighter not working, is
your turn signals/brake lights/horn will not function.  Unless you've been
through this before, you don't know about the cruise control.  The only way
to disengage it is to manually shut it down on your dashboard.

   This unfortunate scenario happened to me upon returning from a mission in
PA on Wednesday.  The only way I knew I had blown a fuse was the factory
installed radar detector quit working.  Cruising at 75 mph and realizing the
need to get off the highway to investigate the problem is NOT the time to
learn you cannot disengage your cruise control via the normal method.

   Please pass this information along to all your friends.  You COULD just
save someone's life.
Respects,
Joe

Did it still disengage by using the fairing switch?
