Cruise Control & other problems

I got my 2003 Boxster S about 6 months ago (now 214K klms). The CC has always been intermittent. Sometimes it would work straight away and sometimes I would have to keep trying it. I saw somewhere that the Brake Pedal Switch might be the problem. Cost of switch in Sydney $50 delivered. Maybe it just needs a clean, so I pulled the switch out squirted lubricant into it, exercised it and reinstalled it. With much anticipation I took her for a drive. NO CRUISE CONTROL at all. Bugga. Then today I thought that this switch turns the brake lights on and disconnects the CC when you apply the brake pedal. Maybe it is just an adjustment that is required ? So I cut a small rectangle of cardboard (from a business card) and a small strip of duct tape and stuck this on the brake pedal arm between the arm and the contact point of the plunger in the switch. Another test drive and CRUISE CONTROL WORK EVERY TIME !!!!! Another problem has been that the PSM and ABS lights come on at some time every drive. I am hoping that this may be solved also.
