non important question

The other night i had to drive aways and the road was clear(shocking) so i turned on my speed control worked fine and everything found out it has more of a lead foot than i do. but when i changed lanes i noticed if i had the turn signal on for more than 10 seconds the speed control would disengage as if i turned it off by the button or the brake. i never noticed this before but then i don't use the control but everyonce in a blue moon, so if it aint suppose to do that i aint gonna worry about it just wondering.

thanks
Kyle

Using the turn signal should not shut off the cruise control.

that's what i thought but i still don't understand half of the computer stuff on that truck so i wasn't sure if it was like a safety or something. oh well like i said i don't use it so i aint gonna worry too much about it.

thanks
Kyle

A grounding path is occurring making the CC think you hit the brake I was told is kind of common in older vehicles when using controls like the turn signals.
