    I just got a 2015 International prostar and all was well but now the cruise control won't set and my brake lights won't go off even when the truck is off.

    When I press the cruise control on button instead of saying "cruise" it says "cruise/throttle". and it won't set. This is a problem I have never had so I don't know what to do, any tips?
    Thanks In Advance!

    Is your trolley valve handle down, and have you tried lifting the brake petal with your foot?

    That's what that was, I read your reply and went outside and the trailer brake was in the down position. When a raised it back up the brake lights went off. Then I drove down the highway and set my cruise control and it now works also.

    Thanks very much!

    Are you still with the first company you started with?
    I remember you're a hard worker, so wondered how that worked out.

    No, I moved on to another company after the first, and now I just leased a truck and I'm going to be rolling the northeast region. Thanks for asking!
