Using Turn Signals while on Cruise Control?

Had the truck on cruise going down the highway. I had to change lanes and when I put on the turn signal te cruise shut off.

Is this a safety thing?

Take it into the dealership and have them look at it. There is no way that the cruise should shut off when you put on the turn signal.

perhaps a burned out or shorted light bulb causing feedback on the brake light circuit, and the cruise is sensing you stepped on the brakes? I've seen a few bad bulbs that feedback into the brake light circuit.

That happened to me twice on my 94 Bronco. When the rear turn signal bulb burned out, the cruise control would cancel when signaling for a lane change on the freeway! I don't know why it did that, but check out the signal bulbs and let us know what you find.

I checked it tonight on my way home and no problems. I bet it was due to a light out on my trailer. i was towing when it happened.

I'm glad that it's fixed, or at least you know that you need to change a light on your trailer.
