Cruise control light stays on

[JGeorge264]

Thanks Raque. I appreciate the offer. (you people here are sure nice!) However, we've already tried putting in a new switch so I'm assuming it must be a wiring issue. Once in awhile the light will go off for a bit, then comes on a bit later. I've asked my hubby to check it out but he's only gotten as far as replacing the switch... he doesn't drive my vx so the light doesn't bother him. lol

I think he did also check the fuse too. I was hoping someone out there with a whole lot more know how than I would tell me, oh yeah, no prob, easy fix.. (so I'm a dreamer..)
Anyway, thanks again for the offer. That was way cool of you!

Oh yeah, no prob., easy fix...2" of electricians tape over offending indicator light & you're done!
Once again, ND farmboy engineering at it's finest!!!
Sorry JGeorge, I couldn't stop my "evil" typing finger.
Good luck, Ldub

LOL, thanks LDub,

Don't know why I didn't think of that. I was raised on a ranch where if ya couldn't fix it with electricians tape, duct tape, or barbed wire then it couldn't be fixed. Right now the pretty green light goes well with the pretty orange ABS light. Guess I'll need two pieces of tape!

Gidder done!!!

The first place I'd look would in an area known to cause other electrical gremlins...where the wire bundle passes through the front bulkhead on the drivers side of the radiator.

Just a WAG..., but it's been a known cause of problems for Anita & others in the past.

.

Check the ground on your trailer wiring harness. I had all kinds of gremilins when I had a bad ground there.

Hmmm…green "Cruise Main" light has been on for a few weeks…and I just had it wired for the trailer (a 4 pin)….coincidence? hmmm…...

This thread describes same problem but doesn't ever say specifically what was causing it or fix. Anybody know?

Guess I'll have Mr. Mechanic check into it.
