Default Cruise Control Light

Anybody ever done anything about this? I have a 98 and when I have the cruise on I don't have any light to indicate that it is on. Not a huge deal but would be nice if there was some wa y to make a light or some sorta indicator that cruise is in use.

I wondered the same thing; My 2000 GP GT has no notification that cruise is on either. So there's my trim level. Not a big issue, just a bit of a nagging one. BackInBlack, you have a fix/solution?

If your asking for coupe or 4 door, it's a coupe. Standard GTP interior with leather.

can't you just let off the gas to see if you are still in cruise?

I know, I know. Just kidding. But I have owned and driven other cars that indicate this, and I don't miss it on my GP. Just sayin...

I've never left my cruise control on expecting to coast down, but I can see how some people might. Personally, I've gotten in the habit of shutting it off by the switch on the turn signal stalk every time.

I didn't know they still made cars with no CC light after the 80s.

Id be interested in this as well. Ive gotten used to not having it, but it would be nice to have a visual indication. But I guess Ive come to take for granted that if an emergency situation ever arose, the first thing you're going to hit is the brake which of course disengages the cruise control.

^^That's pretty much what I do. I just happened to be driving down the road the other night and noticed that I was basicly driving the car just looking at most of the gauges and the hud. Then it dawned on me that even though cruise was on no light indicators were for it. Kinda funny, but these cars came with everything but some of the simple things were left out.
