Hello dear G-friends! I like the new looks of the forum.

If changing your breakinglights to LED it will result in a non functional cruise control on the 463. It took me months to find out that it was the LED lights that was the answer. I couldnt lock the cruise control at all.

Thought you guys might wanna know.

Re: Led breakinglights? Not a good idea

When i had the truck standing in total darkness with engine running and the lights swiched off i could se a weak light from the led breakinglamps. I then started to think about it, something has to be connected with the breaking lightsystem and i also remembered that the problem started sometime after i had changed to LEDs. I then changed back to ordinary bulbs and then I couldnt see any light in total drakness. I drove off and tried the Cruise control and it worked again.
