07Burb’s 09 Deathscalade Non-Build

Didn't want to listen to me huh?

You weren’t as convincing as @mikeyss who also stated “same thing happened to me and…”

IIRC the "switch" contains two or three internal switches and they separately operate different functions. So one internal switch may be bad while the others work.

I Took Apart My Brakelight Switch - PICS

I had a code for a bad brake light switch. I replaced it this morning, and took the old one apart to see what was bad. I figured I would post pics of whats going on inside, since this is a common issue.... The truck is an 04 Yukon XL 1500, with power adjustable pedals... First off, here is...

Had that thought, too, but my brake lights come off and on like you'd expect when the brake pedal is depressed and let off

As was mentioned, the switch has multiple contacts. I think some are NO and some are NC. I could jab my brake pedal a few times then lift the pedal with my foot behind it and get my cruise control to engage. Brake lights always worked, though. New switch fixed it. I took apart the old switch to see if it was just dirty contacts. Everything looked clean. Probably worn parts. Not worth fixing for a $15 (at the time) switch.

Easiest thing to check first right?

Just make sure to not get him wet!

 

[gooffeyguy]

did you top off the cruise control fluid?

Is that on the maintenance schedule along with the blinker fluid?

I was going to suggest the brake switch too. Although, I don't recall what made me notice the cruise not working. I don't remember if a check engine light came on or not. I never use cruise so something had to make me replace it

I use cruise constantly especially on trips. If I don’t I’ll end up going 110 and not even realize it until I see a cop and it’s too late

Hope that cruise control is working on that Burby!!

I would love to use it but with the hills here, it goes full throttle and down shifts to 2nd on a slight incline, not realizing we're almost at the top of the hill. On my Yukon, **** the ACC cruise. It slams the brakes on randomly

It will when I get the new cluster in it. Currently doesn’t cuz the speedo is broke. Came to me that way

Had that same on my ‘17 Denali. Adaptive cruise sucks on the K2 platform. Way too aggressive with braking and accelerating. Seems to be fixed on the T1 platform.

Unless something goes horribly wrong, I won't be getting anything a T1. Maybe a Z9...

GOOD NEWS BOYS!! Replaced the brake light switch this afternoon and cruise control works again! Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions. Everyone except @89Suburban. His suggestion didn’t help in any way!!!

He’s the man woulda kept on chasing my tail if he and a couple others hadn’t mentioned having the issue before and their brake lights still worked. I’d assumed if they worked the switch was 100%

Fo sho! Like, the radio has constant power for memory and amp power and a switched power to turn it on. These newfangled contraptions use a digital signal initiated by pressing a button to tell a processor to close a circuit to turn the radio on.
