2014 FLHTK Cruise Control Quit, Need Help
I spent the night at a motel and it came a hard blowing rain. Not sure if the rain caused the problem but the next day the cruise control would not set. Further down the road I noticed the gear indicator in the speedometer was not working. I always start the bike in neutral when cold but later I stopped for gas and the bike had to be in neutral to start. The amber cruise light in the speedometer is on. When working correctly the light will turn green when the cruise is set but it won't set now.
I checked the fuses and they all looked good. I checked the connectors on the "Engine Control Module" and they all looked dry.
The bike does have a power commander that plugs into the ECM and those connections looked dry also.
Any advice will be appreciated.

I'm afraid they will tell me the warranty is void due to the power commander. I did un-plug the power commander from the ECM and reconnect the factory connectors directly back to the ECM with no luck.

Sounds like you have all the symptoms of a bad clutch switch. The 14 FLHTK has switch packs and the left side has a small switch that is activated when you move the clutch lever, similar to the front brake light switch. Possibly it was affected by the rain. I would have a dealer check it.

The brake light still works. Thanks for the advice. I rode it again today, still no cruise.

Check this out. It fixed mine a few years ago with the exact problem you're having.

Besides, they'd have to prove the power commander caused the problem, not just claim it did without checking
