Yes...that is the light for the parking brake. The switch for that is located (if my memory serves me) right in front of the parking brake arm. Sorry...its been a while since I had to work on mine. I would check the adjustment of the parking brake and switch / connection. The only way I can imagine this would trip the cruise control, is if manual actuation of the parking (rear) brake changes the pressure in the brake line enough to disengage cruise.

I would also check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. Or/and check the brake fluid level sensor in the master cylinder.
And isn't your 95 with cruise involved in the cruise control switch recall?? Have you had the switch replaced with the new type?? If not--the switch could be failing and causing the warning light to illuminate.This recalled switch is on the front top of the master cylinder and can cause vehicle fires if it hasn't been replaced.

Could be the VSS located on top of the rear axle. The speed sensor gives input into the cruise control AND is the speed sensor for the 'rear' standard ABS system for the pick-up truck. Primary design is to control rear wheel lock-up when unloaded. Assuming this is your 95 F-250.
