Do you have a trailer harness attached to the right hand rear tailight?

Sometimes the trailer harness can have a short or may not be wired properly if a non genuine harness is fitted.

Try disconnecting the trailer harness.

It is located at the RHR tailight or simply follow the trailer harness to where it plugs in.

Once disconnected test operation of the cruise control.

Ok, i managed to solve the issue, it turns out that whoever installed the aftermarket lights (on the car when i bought it) screwed up the wiring of the globe holders, the mis-wired the active for the parkers to the common feed.

How they missed this in their testing is beyond me, as both filaments light up when you turn the lights on. I actually spotted it ages ago but thought i was dreaming it.....

Anyway, thank you to everyone who offered assistance to helping solve my dilemma

VX Acclaim Wagon S2,
I had this problem and solved it, thought i would share.

I installed LED globes all round then i had the problem

Put standard incandescent brake globes back in and it solved the problem.

I left the third brake light as an LED though.

Hope this helps some poor bastard, who like me, loves cruise control.... and LED's.
