Brakes Light & Cruise control

I have two new problems with my 1995 Chev. Monte Carlo. First, brake lights
have quit working have checked fuse in fuse box and is Ok what next to
Check? Secondly, When using cruise if I turn on park or head lights cruise
will dis-engage??

Welcome to the wonderful world of Monte Carlo ownership. I have/had both
these problems. The inoperative break lights is most likely the turn signal
switch. Check to see if the CHMSL (thrid brake light) work, if it does and
the lower two brake lights don't work, it's the turn signal switch,
guaranteed.

The cruise control problem started like that for me. It would work, then I'd
do some thing like turn lights on, turn wipers on etc. and it would
disengage. Then after awhile it would just disengage for no reason. Now, it
doesn't work at all. I did all the diagnosis steps. The final step I got to
in the flow chart was "replace cruise control module."

Tks for info. regarding brake lights. thrid brake light does work, were do
I find turn signal switch and what does it look like.
Did you replace cruise control module or is that something a repair shop
needs to do?

The first thing I would check is the grounds and battery connections.
Turning on a load could cause power noise causing your problem.

The first thing is to learn to use a multimeter and read a wiring diagram
for your car. Otherwise spend a fortune on guessing and changing parts.

For now have used one of the hot wires for thrid light to light up brakes
so I can drive car but now have other problems when I step on brakes, dash
board lights,clock,etc dim. Also when pressing brake petal front signal
lights go on.The right turn signal only works if back for high beams. Have
bought multimeter. Was told could be signal switch but be cautious
removing because of air bag is involed in replacement.

oops, correction here, it's "so common" not "no common". Frig, I should
proof read better.
