I was driving up Rt 19 in W.Va. Hit a hole in the asphault, not real deep, but edge was pretty square.. Bottomed out HARD!!! 5 miles down the road, my check engine light comes on.. 2 more miles, the Volt gauge is pegged, cruise does not work and 6th gear light does not work.. I stopped in the next town to eat lunch.. Called closest HD shop..told them I wanted to stop in and have it checked. he asked if I bought it there or was just passing thru.. Told him headed home.. said he MIGHT have time to check a fuse.. Came out from eating, voltage back to normal, 6th gear light works again, but no cruise..Stopped and got gas, and when I fired it up everything was working...Like I said.. Strange...
