My cruise control does not cancel when I apply the breaks.  Any ideas?

The brake light switch is not working.  Do you have brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed?

I think it could also be a relay or fuse.  Fuse is the easiest to check but I can't find the fuse panel.  My manual says it is in the front electrical panel roadside in front of the front wheel but there are only relays in there.  If anyone knows the location of the fuse panel I would appreciate hearing from them.

Bill,

I believe that you have a auto-reset style breakers.  They would cycle on and off if the problem was a short in the wire.

Karl is right, in that the brake pedal contact has been known to fail or move out of position.  I'd check the simple brake light test first.  The SmartWheel contacts may be involved too, perhaps in the VIP module in the front electrical bay.  Otherwise, I saw your other related Forum post... you should be dealing with circuit breakers, not fuses, likely one of those along one of the two long vertical breaker busses in that same bay.

thanks for your suggestions - fixed the problem today and discovered my coach has mini-breakers - no fuse panel.  the problem was a corroded wire in the brake light circuit - all fixed now after a $325. tech expense
