    :D small price to pay. especially if it is easily fixed. it should be. just waiting to see if anything "official" comes out for it.

    warranty? its a safety feature if ur brake lights have problems cruise control wont work , cuise control uses the brakes and if u where to get rear ended ecause the brake light failed to waork lots of PPL would sue the car manufacturer
     
  6. I am by no means an auto electrician but i found a customer that was having this issue that installed a wirewound 180 ohm 5W resistor in line with the LED's and this fixed the problem. These resistors can be found for less then a dollar most places. CHECK THE ATTACHED PICTURES. I hope this helps.

  7. Ok follow up... So i bought 2 10 watt 100 ohm resistors and attached them one to each side of the break lights. I used a wire stripper to strip the red and black wires and connected the resistor to each side. Now the cruise control works and no CEL!!
