No Brake lights, no cruise control.

No Brake lights, no cruise control.
Hello,
So, I installed a new radio lately (Poineer 4100 NEX- nice radio, BTW). Yesterday, I ran a couple video wires through the firewall for new backup cameras. Anyway, after I was done, my brake lights and cruise control didn't work.
After a little Googling, I decided it my have something to do with the electrical switch on the brake pedal. So, I wiggled the brake switch a bit and the brake lights are working again. I must have bumped or bent something while I was running wires.
Was/is my switch out of alignment or is this a sign my switch may be going out. Should I replace the switch?
good luck-jim

I would probably just change the switch. It's really one of those things you just have to put your eyes and ears on to diagnose. Most of these type switches make a slight click when they're activated. I would try to determine if you're hearing any noise and observe the switch plunger for unrestricted movement. I would think the switch is fairly cheap. I would hate for you to get rear ended due to this issue. Best of luck to you.
