TJ you still haven't said which switch you are talking about. The switch to the right of the ignition switch is the on/off switch for the CC itself(which turns the CC system on or off when you flip that switch the orange light will come on)and stay orange until you set the cruise with the handlebar switch(at whatever speed you set it at) then the light will turn green

 

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.

 

He has a Road King not EG

 

were the bars or grips changed possible it was not put back together correctly

 

Sounds like the switch to turn cruise on and off ( left side ) is not functioning correctly.
Get a new one?

 

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.
Stay cool. Ride safe.

 

I'm gonna bet on just a loose connection inside the handlebar control, but hey, it's under warranty, let them go in there. Now, just to be sure one more time, you don't have a CC switch near your ignition switch? SORRY! Just couldn't resist!
