RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

[PG01]

I know this already... that’s the issue I’m having... lol. But again I verbalize that my cruise control worked perfectly with the other set of lights I had for the past two years. I will swap them back on because i have a long drive tomorrow, and I will take video showing it working with the old led tails.

Lol......No Chase, I understand your problem.......I was saying that I agree with Mikey that the brake switch is bad....even tho your brake lights are working (no matter which lights are on your truck) the brake switch may still be bad not allowing cruise to work. It’s just a coincidence that you changed lights and cruise stopped working... before changing lights again go grab a brake switch..... cheap an easy to swap out. Good luck

 

[mikeyss]

That was what I was curious about. Lol. Thanks doe the heads up. I’ll pick one up and see if that changes anything.

I have an 06 Sierra Denali too, we have similar vehicles, haha.

Reading fast

does your cruise light up on the dash at all?

Nope. Nothin.

+1 for faulty brake switch killing cruise control but not affecting brake lights. I replaced mine about a month ago for this. I believe another member posted of the same problem and solution as well around the same time. Not saying with 100% certainty that the switch is your problem, but your symptoms really point to it and it's a common failure with age.

Trial and error . Take out the tails. Put in stock lights. Or at least some 3157 bulbs with the sockets hanging. Run down the road and get up to about 40ish to see if the cruise works.
What is our bottom speed for cruise anyone know ?

30. I just figured that part out. I plugged the old LED tails back in and it set with the old tails in. Which is exactly what I said before. Lol. Cruise control works normally with the these tails plugged in:

So I’m guessing that the brake switch is operating normally. And that the load resistors on the new tails are not big enough to run the LEDs properly.

Send them back for another set.

 

[adventurenali92]

Send them back for another set.

I already have because the first set wasn’t sealed properly and the passenger side had condensation in it. I’m on my second set of this new style.... lol and I’ll add that the first set functioned identical the second set.

 

[adventurenali92]

Well..... I’m an idiot as it turns out.... I was puzzled and couldn’t figure out what the heck was going on until I actually looked at the tail lights. I assumed(and we all know what does...) that the resistors on the new tails were wired into the brake lights.... they’re not and I’m an idiot for not looking at them the right way... resistors are wired into the turn signals to prevent hyper flash..... what a moron I am...

 

[mikeyss]

Glad you got it figured out.

Classic mistake

Led tails - 1
Chase - 0

Like it says in my signature, “Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.” You just got some experience!

Glad you got it figured out Chase.

Ordered new tails on amazon. Went with a slightly different setup this time. Still the same C shaped LED tube, but the tube on the new set has a red tint instead of a white cover with red LED. IT LOOKS REALLY COOL! Plus the housing is gloss black instead of flat black, so they look REALLY dark! And the border around the edge of the lenses is gloss black instead of clear. Really cool contrast against my silver paint!

I made the swap in the back lot of the mechanics after I had finished washing cars, while I was waiting for the boss to get back from an errand pay me lol.
CG just put a new product, a ceramic infused detailer spray, called Hydro speed. To go in line with their hydro line up, I ordered a bottle. Got delivered yesterday same time as the tail lights. Lol. Hit the new light lenses with a bit of that keep them protected until I can give my truck a fresh ceramic coat I. A couple weeks when I have use of the garage at the ranch.

Do you have a link to this set? They do look cool

I’ll see if I can find it. But I’ll be honest, I’m not crazy about them. They look cool but they’re cheaply made, I don’t think they're worth what I paid for them. Both the original set, and the replacement set I got from the seller have not been sealed properly and have had condensation in them. And I still can’t get my cruise control back into working order, after three sets of resistors wired into the brake lights. I wouldn’t recommend them at this point.

Forgot about my led fog lights. Lol. Before and after. Did those in May. Got them from xenondepot and I love them.

View attachment 66999[/QUOTEwhatbtype of led bulbs did you use. The fan type ? For the fogs.

 

[adventurenali92]

Wow those pictures are old.... lol. No they were just standard LEDs that plugged into my stock wire pigtails. I can honestly say I don’t even know what bulbs they were. I just remember ordering those from xenondepot.com. But after a couple years I had to replace them as one side was starting to get bad and they didn’t have anything in stock that fit plug and play to my truck. So I ended up having to order LEDs from somewhere on Amazon when I had to replace them.
