Cruise Control Release and Stoplamp Switches

CRUISE CONTROL RELEASE SWITCH
The cruise control release switch is provided in order to disengage the cruise control. The switch is mounted on the brake pedal bracket assembly. The switch consists of one switch contact which is a normally closed switch when the brake is not applied. The switch contact opens when the brake pedal is applied. Pressing the brake pedal disengages the cruise control causing the throttle to return to the idle position.

The switch consists of two switch contacts which are normally open switches when the brake is not applied. The switch contacts close when the brake pedal is applied. One set of switch contacts are primarily for the cruise control disengage function. Pressing the brake pedal disengages the cruise control causing the throttle to return to the idle position.
