There is a switch on the clutch also. It drops the cruise off if you pull the clutch lever. But I say just let the dealer fix it.

 

if its under warrenty....dont "f" with it.
let the dealer take care of it.

 

I thought the IDS was supposed to fix the Cruise Control problem
Quite a few seem to be having problems with it. I hope I'm not next.[:-]

 

Hell, I had a premium seat that did not work, so i took it back and in order for the warranty to stay valid, the dealer had to plug it in..........(that was funny to me) but when i got the bike back, my trouble light came on......turned around...... dealer said it was the cruise control...... so he reset it........got half way home and it came on again.....
so i try cruise, no worky again..... but when i hit set the green dash light lights up....... just does not hold speed......

all from a seat????????? the dealer here in Berlin has to call HD in the states to find out WTF is wrong......I won't know until Tues...

 

My point is why ask where the fuses are.
You got a service manual you said, that will tell you.
plus in the time it took you to come here and ask, you could've
walked out to the bike and pulled the cover.
Plus I didn't see anyone answer your question in the posts above.
Now unless HD changed it they are under the left side cover.
Left being as you are sitting on the bike facing the handlebars.
That is unless HD also changed the location of the handlebars from previous
years and models.
Your ECM should be under right cover and if you have ABS the abs solenoids are there
too. The ABS ECM is under the seat. Thisis info gathered from here, so I trust it is accurate.
And since it is beand new under warranty you shouldn't mess with it.
Even though I am a mechanic, I don't mess with my stuff when it's under warranty, I let
the dealers do it, that's what they get paid for.

 

Choo Choo is my riding name.
Riding to work one morning a few (quite a few) years back, I was riding into the sun.
Got blinded by the sun glaring off the windshield.
Couldn't see the arms down on the RR crossing. Saw the train sitting still about a mile down
the track though as I knew the crossing was there.
Lights on arm were not lit either.
Tried to stop but started sliding on loose gravel on the pavment (big gravel truck / tanker
company driveway is right before the crossing).
Well I didn't want to hit the guard sideways, or drop a wheel sideways into the gap of tracks
and pavement, that would be a HARD landing at 50mph.
So let up off brake, straightened out, hit brakes again still slid, but did get speed down
to about 25mph.
Was on a Road King at the time. Laid down on the tank and hit the arm.
Was doing fine until... a piece of the arm still connected to the main pole by way of the electric
light wires tangled around the front axle.
well the wire didn't give and about 50 feet after the hit, sucked me down like calf being
roped by a cowboy.
So guys started calling me Choo Choo you know like the train?

 

guess you missed the part where he said:

so that rules out the bulb (actually led)

and:

maybe the service techs were all really busy and didn't have time to look at it so the sales guy was trying to help out.

about the only thing you got right was to let them fix it under warranty. otherwise, nice post, way to help a brother out. not everyone can be as mechanically astute as you obviously are, thats no reason to tell him to sell the bike and stick with a cage.

what? and you didn't try to sue hd for that? i'm sure you can think of some reason why its their fault... maybe it was the ambient air temp guage. oh wait, you said road king, that doesn't have one.

 

Bottom line. If the dealer is working with you. Don't sweat the small stuff. Nothing, and I mean nothing is perfect. New stuff breaks and does not work and it is not fault of anyone. Just got a little unlucky. I drive GM vehicles almost exclusively. I buy new about every 2 years. I took delivery of a new vehicle March 29th and the vehicle has been back to shop 4 times. Small stuff, but it is the first time this has ever happened to me with a GM vehicle I bought new. The dealer is doing best he can and that's all I ask. There are far more important things in this world to be dismayed over than a failed Cruise Control under warranty. I know it is disappointing, but you will be up and running soon and this will be a distant memory.

 

I was running with my cruise contorl on and tapped the rear break to shut if off because a car was slowing in front of me. It didn't go off so I grabbed the front brake and clutch and it shut down. It was the wire going to the brake switch was broken right at the switch. Does the brake light come on when you use the front and rear brake? Just wanted to make sure you checked the lights while you were waiting to get it fixed. Everytime I read a post of Choo Choo telling someone how stupid they are I have to go back to the thread where he shoots the mattress in his motel room to scare someone off at the door And he's calling other people stupid
