Cruise Control Failure
Hello. The cruise control went out on my 2020 FLHR. When I push the button to activate the icon appears in the speedo window, when I push down to engage the cruise it won't stay engaged. I hope it's just a switch, I don't want to have to go to the dealer for repair. TIA

This is from another thread on the subject:
Put the bike in gear, pull in the clutch, can you start it? Yes = clutch switch good, No = clutch switch bad.
Front and Rear brake switches, try each individually, do they light the brake light? Yes = good brake switches, No = bad brake switch
Bike running, EITMS screen on the display, roll the throttle forward, does it turn off the EITMS? Yes, roll switch good, No = bad roll switch.
Any of the above can stop cruise from engaging.

Cruise
I removed the tail light housing the bulb seemed intact, no movement or signs of wiring problems. My wingman had said that the taillight was erratic going bright & dim while we were riding the other day.
After checking the light I went out and engaged the cruise 70-75 mph it lasted for 5-7 seconds and disengageged. I tried again 45-50 mph and it stayed on till I manually killed it. 🤔

Troubleshooting is fault isolation by systematic means.

So…
Hello. I have read in this very forum that a loose tail light bulb could contribute to cruise control failure. So you're saying this could be a brake switch? I guess I'll start researching from that point as far has how to check them. IDK if I mentioned that at highway speeds the cc wouldn't stay engaged below 50-60 it works fine.
