Default Cruise Control Problem

All:

I just bought an '08 FLHX with cruise control, security, etc. ...tried the cruise control feature, Sunday and no dice...no indicator light,nothing. Has anyone else had problems with CC? My dealer is going to take a look at it, but I was hoping not to have to deal with all that crap if its a simple fix or if I overlooked something. (the switch on the inner fairing console was on when I tried to set the CC)

Amen brother,
It seems that there are some "teething" problems with the new FBW systems. Take it back to your dealer. The sad part is HD probably wont admit it and will keep using their customers as test riders.
