Cruise control

[Onebadtrike]

2003 GL1800 cruise not working. Turn on the cruise and it lights up, set cruise nothing happens and no light indicating cruise set

Are you in 4th or 5th gear?

Check switch on rear brake pedal.
Two identical switches side by side.
One for brake lights other for cruise.

Switches for the cruise control on the clutch and front brake lever too.

Is the switch on the front brake lever adjustable?

[Onebadtrike]

Thanks for the input. I will try the brake and clutch micro switched first. I didn't know that there was something with the rear brake switch as well. I was in 4th & 5th going over 40 mph with no luck.

Try the easy stuff first. Push out slightly on the clutch lever with your fingers and push the SET button while holding the lever out. If that doesn't work try the same thing on the front brake lever.

Also check your clutch lever is all the way forward and the wires in back are still connected. The clutch lever bushing wears out faster than brake leer bushing. My 2002 was just that way and for about $20 I replaced the bushing and that snugged the lever immediately and it no longer sags and fails to contact the switch properly.

Additional thought... Clutch lever switches are both impacted by its bushings so if you can't start in gear with the clutch pulled in you should focus on those switches and the lever bushing.
