I mention it.......about cruise control and LED brake lights , because ..
Marco of BusLabs in Berkely just had a challenging deal fixing cruise
control..
probably on a subruvanagon ..
it wouldn't hold speed or something ...
and 'the problem' was .....the electronic control circuit for the cruise
control did not like the LED brake light bulbs.
Putting  in conventional brake light bulbs fixed it.
