cruise control

i've discovered that my cruise control no longer cuts off with my braking anymore. It will cut off when i press the off button, but that's it...any ideas?

Go check and see if your brake lights work.

If they don't, just fiddle with the relay that is attached to the shaft of the pedal. I ended up just removing a black bushing, and putting it back together. I found out by not being able to get the ******* goose test to work. It's always the simplest thing...

There's a switch that is screwed into the bottom of the brake master cylinder that sometimes goes bad and I believe it has something to do with shutting the cruise off. I had mine leak brake fluid and it will mess the connector once the brake fluid gets on there. I once had a condition where I couldn't get my cruise to come on and at the end of figuring it out and fixing it, it was my brake switch. Weird thing was that all my brake lights worked when the pedal was depressed, it just wouldn't allow the cruise to work. Your brake light switch could be bad, but I doubt it. Check the switch at the bottom of the master cylinder. There's also a brake on/off switch somewhere around the brake pedal I just don't know exactly where.

ok brake lights do NOT work...and this is bad cause i've been driving like that for some time now....ummm...what's a good way to go about fixing this?

ok...traced it down to the switch...kinda...the switch itself works...if i hand engage it with a screw driver they come on...however i'm guessing the metal has worn down to the point where it won't engage it from the brake pedal...i've temp fixed with some electrical tape shims...do you think the best fix would be a new switch that possibly isn't worn down??
