The port opens when the brake is pushed, thereby releasing the vacuum which is being used to hold the cruise diaphragm in position. Good call!! > I think the switch is also for the cruise control > and signals that the controller should quit trying to maintain speed - > hence the normally closed contacts. In the words of of Tim Allen....hhhUUUUUMMMMMhhhhhh? > There should be another switch for the brake lights. ??????????????.....Orin - you may just have hit it. I will dive back in there and see.
