Default Cruise control

I have a 2007 road glide. I tried all the ways to do cruise control diagnostics. Unhooked the throttle switch. Unhooked the battery. But ever since I put in a new pressure tail light switch I cannot get the light to go from amber to green or get the cruise to work. My brake lights work perfect. I also replaced the rear brake pads and have good brake pressure. I’m out of ideas.

Have you done anything to the bars or messed with the brake switch?

Could be the roll back switch (not sure what actual name is) on the throttle cable. It is located just in front of the tank about half way down. Unplug that and see what happens.

Worked for me.

Yea it's called the ROLL OFF switch, right side against the frame in front of the tank, two plugs connected to your throttle cables, like he said, unplug one and see what happens

Already unplugged the roll off switch. Brake switches are new and brake lights work perfectly.

Sorry man, I got nothing else for ya except having someone behind you to see if brake lights flicker, other than that, finding another module, which sucks cause they're like $300+ on fleabay used, cant find a new one as they stopped making them in 2005....yes 2 years prior to their end model year of 2007.

Do any work to the bar controls at all??

Had to go through that chit last year.

I would try disconnecting the pressure switch you installed first. If it works then, maybe check the grounding of the circuit? I don't know if the circuit feeds to ground or if it cuts power, but maybe someone else can chime in here for that info.

If the only thing you've done differently is the switch, then I'd say that's the best place to start. disconnect the wires going to the switch and see if it'll work then.

Also, you ARE moving when trying to set the cruise right? I mean. it's worth asking!

The switch cuts power and if it’s not working I would think the brake light wouldn’t work. The light doesn’t change when riding or when doing diagnostics.

All the bar controls work and had cruise until the switch replacement. I like the idea of possible flickering. I’ll check that.
