Cruise control light on before start and then disappears

[PLP]

Finally - I got it working.

I am not sure, though, which step made it work, but it has been fine since then.

Again, rear light assemblies are aftermarket.
Since the controller died on both sides, I used resistors and voltage controllers to adjust LED intensities between brake and tail lights. It works fine, but could contribute to the issue.

Also, the center lamp received LED replacements.

Durametric Pro was heavily in use.

The first error I was getting was about malfunction with the brake light switch. I thought it was due to LEDs, so I added a load resistor to assemblies (still same) and then to the center. Still same...
So I got a new switch, despite seeing the original one working OK.

I swapped it and CC worked for a while and died.
One difference though. I noticed with the old switch that the brakes would start catching, just a tiny bit, but still before the lights would light up. It was not any dangerous, but technically speaking friction would take place before the light is visible. You could see it only when slowly rolling back or forward when sitting at the lights.

Back to Durametric.
This time it says something about clutch sensor - something about "takes more than 5 seconds between gear changes".
I am like - what is that?

I pulled it out and tested.
Sure enough there is some high resistance where the circuit should terminate.
Since I ordered two switches for the brake pedal (one was clutch one was brake) I was like - whatever, lets swap it.

And since then all is good.


So in short - for sure both - brake light switch and clutch switch were replaced (not the start with clutch switch - the large, 4 pin one).
A total of 3 load resistors were added. Lights each 6 Ohm, while the center got 30 Ohm.
