Yes it is and as usual TP is right it was my brake switch which makes sense when you consider it terminates the cruise control. The switch has a plastic plunger actuated by the arm of the brake pedal. To remove the entire switch you turn it and it comes out of a hole it snaps into, it's a twist lock operation. There is a really good pic of it on the 986 catalog that I downloaded free from this site. I tried to pull just that pic out and link you to it but as far as I can tell adobe doesn't support that function.

Use a DMM (Digital Multi-Meter) with a continuity tester and set to continuity, attach DMM leads to each lead on the switch, press the switch 'on' and listen for a beep, no beep - switch is bad.
