Took a 150 mile ride today.
Cruise was ALWAYS on, regardless of the switch's position. It would engage both in the on or off positions.
I take this to mean that the CC system in itself is okay, just the switch is defective or broken or stuck or something. I'll have to take her into service and have them fix/change the switch. Should be covered by factory warranty, right?

are you sure you are turning on/off the right switch...left handle bar below turn signal....
also the bike may not be under warranty still...I have a 11 flhrc and it is out of warranty as of 9/15/2012...

The switch on the fritz, is the one on the LEFT side handlebar. Under the left turn switch and the horn buttons. The set/resume switch works fine. I just can't turn off the CC and it's a little unnerving. I feel I could engage CC involuntarily.

TJ there is nothing on the left handlebar that is part of the CC. You have 2 switches that control the CC one is the on/off switch tto the right of the ignition switch and the other is the set/run switch on the RIGHT handlebar so I dont know what you were told but STOP dinking around with the left handlebar it controls the horn, hi/lo beams, left turn,stereo volume,bass,treble,fade,display and push to talk if you have a cb. Right handlebar controls, engine kill switch, mode switch(changes from radio to aux, weather, cd) right turn, and cc set and resume switch.

Sounds like switch is bad to me too. Good luck! Hope you get her fixed!

As far as I can tell, having fiddled around with the thing ad nauseam, I too believe it's just a bad switch. So I guess I'll just take her in to the dealer's and have them change it under warranty. Hope it doesn't take them more than a couple of hours.
Thanks for all your input and reassurance.
