This would never make it to the production line...It`s a safety issue just like ABS, Fly by wire ETC.
The system will default to off if power is lost. ABS and all related safety typedevices are set to a default off state.

You are correct. A while back, due to a short in my brake light system (samecircuit as CC)the fuse went south. Now at the time I was out on the road and did not know my brake/running light was no longer on, the only indication I had was that my cruise disengaged and would not re-engage.

Maybe there was some JB Weld in the Cruise Control!

What he said is true, on my 05 ultra my lighter fuse blew, and the cruise control would not disengage, I reached up and turned the switch off, Also lost speedo and tach when it happened.
