My EL Fairmont is the same. I'm thinking about trying a different cruise control module and if that doesn't work I'll replace the buttons on the steering wheel. My brake light switch is working properly as my brake lights all work.

The brake booster switch is easy to check.....If you have brake fluid seeping into the switch then it will stop the cruise control from working.

Another thing I was told to do was to see if the cable from the cruise control module is in good condition - No kinks or broken outer casing.

Ok Gangster, this is my issue, if the cruise is turned off buy braking spacificly that poxy switch down buy ya pedal then that may be the issue, but for some reason this stupid switch is broken in a way that keeps the brake lights on???? :shock: So ive been cruisen around with my brake lights constantly on :oops: lol ooooops!! So hoping this is the only cause ill get a new one ASAP and see if it works FINGERS CROSSED :D

I bought a good second hand cruise control module today so tomorrow I'll put it in my EL and see how that goes. I've also heard that the clock spring can also be to blame for the cruise control not working....Anyone else heard that?
