Cruise control problems.

[Bruce]

If you go to Randy's site Bill Pape and others have lots of info on the Bendix
system. I dont think any parts are available. The ZF uses a hydraulic retarder.

have a ZF transmission with a trans retarder that is somehow air controlled.
When the trans retarder is engaged, the brake lights come on. A small air device
has gone out and was intermittently activating by itself, thus flashing my brake
lights as well as turning off my cruise.

I either crest a slight hill or start down an incline. I can feel the throttle
being backed-off, then the control drops off.
