Default Speed Sensitive Electrical Problems

I have a 2000 Ultra Classic.&nbsp\\; Over the weekend&nbsp\\;I went on a long trip and about half way through the cruise control stopped working.&nbsp\\; It would allow you to set the cruise, but then after a few miles it would disengage.&nbsp\\; Then the Speed Sensitive Volume control on the stereo was also changing volumes for no apparant reason.&nbsp\\; Lastly the self cancelling function for the turn signals stopped working.&nbsp\\; I believe all of those devices relie on the speed sensor.&nbsp\\; Could that be the cause?&nbsp\\; Has anyone else experienced similar problem and if so how were they corrected?&nbsp\\; I&nbsp\\;don't mind&nbsp\\;going to the dealer, but I want to ride this weekend and was hoping to fix it myself.
&nbsp\\;
The only service I did before leaving on the trip was topping off the oil.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks for the help!
