[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1326662, member: 3828"] Damn. I never knew about this undocumented "feature" until this week. Now this is going to bug me until we fix it. So, thinking this through... They delayed the brake light actuation point so the ECU wouldn't throw an error code if it saw the brake light on but the cruise still engaged, which might happen to a minor extent if they were triggered simultaneously. But the lever motion required between the two is too much, which creates an unsafe situation where the brake light may not come on when you are lightly braking. Seems like a better solution would have been to have both switch contacts close simultaneously, and early in the lever stroke, and just put an electronic delay on only the brake light signal going to the ECU to filter out the false errors.
