Cleaning the brake switch did not work for me. Ill try the clutch switch tonight.

Tommy, interestingly enough I did modify my brake light circuit, but that is only for the night time lights, not the brake lights. I didnt touch those or modify them.

What about your third brake light flashy thing?

All my brake lights work. I did have a tail light out. I've since replaced it, the cruise still does not work. I will clean both brake and clutch switches tomorrow to see if that helps. If it doesn't I will see if one of my Porsche buddies will let me swap switches with them. His cruise works fine.

Ok, I took both switches out and cleaned them. Getting the brake switch back in place was a pain in the rear. I ended up getting it lined up and turning the switch with a Cresent wrench. Well the cruise works now. We will see for how long. I think i'll order a couple of new ones just in case.
