Just get a couple junk wires and wire one up to the + and one to the - and then touch the other ends to where the plug for the brake light goes, note which side of the plug on the light is + and - as you will wanna hook up the wires from the battery the same way!! Be sure not to touch the wires together, not a good thing!!:)

No problem man, try the 9v battery idea first and see if that works, not too difficult to do, can even use a couple of paper clips straightened out to touch both the battery ends and the plug ends on the light!! Go for it man!!

NICE!!! I figured the 9v would work but didn't know for sure!! Well at least you know that your light works and you don't need to buy a new one, now you just gotta find the problem!! Did you ever check to see if your cruise control works?

No, you need to drive down the road and see if the cruise control works correctly, I think there is more than one fuse that's linked to the C.C.!
