2007 Tahoe Brake lights remain on, no cruise, parts replaced
Brakes remain on even for a second witness standing behind the truck. No spring sag to speak of. There is not an audible click when I press the pedal, but is that always expected? What did you find out about recalibration? Is this necessarily a good rabbit hole? -

Is it reasonable to assume the scanner is a mechanic’s tool, or are scanners available for use by newbies? Not a Walmart or Oreilly’s item I suppose. -
2007 Tahoe Brake lights remain on, no cruise, parts replaced
Correct. I have replaced the brake light switch, not a brake sensor, as I had mistakenly put it. -
2007 Tahoe Brake lights remain on, no cruise, parts replaced
To answer the second part of your response, no. I have not been made aware of the two parts you suggested, up til now. Assuming they're not impossible to get to, I'll give it a try, simply because of the vehicle's age, and disregard "need" as a factor to weigh a purchasing. It generally won't... -
2007 Tahoe Brake lights remain on, no cruise, parts replaced
You are correct. I misspoke. Again I’m not a mechanic. It was a brake switch, not a sensor. I recently replaced the accelerator pedal/level sensor as a single unit, so I had “sensor” on my mind. Here’s the part name taken from the retail listing: Standard Ignition 4 Terminal Brake Light switch... -
2007 Tahoe Brake lights remain on, no cruise, parts replaced
in 2023, I bought a 2007 Tahoe LTZ with about 240k miles. I've had numerous issues I have been able to work around or fix altogether, with one exception. The brake lights are always on (engine running), which is potentially dangerous, AND the cruise control does not engage or light on. Here's... -

Oil pressure drop 2007 Tahoe 5.3
Good things to consider! There was no screen under the pressure sensor in the expected spot. Research turned up a common practice to remove the screen since they tend to clog. I was not surprised to see it missing and I did not install the one that came with the new one to stay consistent. I...- kingbeepa

Oil pressure drop 2007 Tahoe 5.3
Over the past month, ‘07 Tahoe has had a low pressure alarm that indicates “Oil pressure low stop engine.” 240k miles. Oil level is full. In response, I have correctly installed: Oil pressure sensor, oil level sensor terminal connector, oil pick up tube assembly with new O-ring, oil reservoir...- kingbeepa
