Subject: Re: Switch to LED lighting

"Guessing LED 'fools' the Cruise Control that brakes have not been
applied yet."

and,

"If a particular cruise control setup detects the current in the
stop-light line to tell that the brakes have been applied, the lesser
current drawn by equivalent LEDs might not trigger the cruise control
to drop out when the brakes are applied."

That wouldn't explain the fact that whoever had originally ran into
this Cruise Control problem, not getting the vehicle (with brakes not
applied) to set the speed.

So that brings us back to the original question as to How can LED
lights screw up the CC from working?  At first I was thinking a
frequency given off from the lights to the CC unit but that seems
silly.  I am still baffled as to how the cruise control works or
doesn't work.  My seems tempermental on the best of
days!  ...Anyways, I doubt that there was actually a connection to
the CC problem and installing LED bulbs in your tail-lights/signal-
lights!?!
