Today I noticed when I put my lights on my brake light comes on and everytime I brake my lights come on. My cruise control has also stopped working coincidently at the same time dont know If they are related. Can anyone give me some advice?

1 of your brake/tail light bulbs is blown. take 1 bulb out at a time until it stops doin it. The cruise has a brake sensor so it will probably come good when you change the bulb

Sounds as though there is a short between the tail light filament and brake light filament, so just replace both brake lights and you will be fine.

Had the reverse happen to the parents car once, you would step on the brake, and the parker lights at the front would come on.
