Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / September 2007Cruise Control Issue Solved, I caused it?, Now about the brakes
Cruise control working. Multi led brake lights non-oem were holding 3v even when not lit. The cruise control stuff needs to see 0v ( I guess to know that the brakes are not on ). Replaced bulbs with standard part and cruise now works. In the process the brakes were adjusted so that there is literally no slack in the feel at the pedal. Is is possible to adjust this so that the brakes are very slightly on at all times. It feels so different I'm wondering if I feel the car slowing during coasting or working slightly against the brake at all times. Is this a bad thing or a normal feeling that is ok or will change back to having a little take up slack over time? Thanks for any replies.

Yes - it is very possible to adjust brakes up such that they are always applied - from just a bit, to a lot. If they seem to be just barely applied, then don't sweat it - the shoes will wear in with no appreciable impact on the life of the brakes. BTW, this is only true of drum brakes which are typically only found on the rear wheels. > Is this a bad thing or a normal feeling that is ok or will change back to > having a little take up slack over time? You can have the shop that did the work back them off a bit if you choose. Signature-Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net SP> Cruise control working.

May be the issue can be solved using a diode series to LED lamps. SignatureZotto Sonica barbonica driver http://www.flickr.com/photos/zottoida/ SP> Cruise control working.
