96 Lumina cruise control stopped working

[lectron44]

There are two brake switches - the top one has the right color according to my 20$ manual (brown/brown). The bottom has two jackfulls plugged in and I think (hope) it is all tail lights, back window light. (I un jacked the top one and wife said brake lts still flashed).

I thought I was getting test light (I was) on both the brown going in and the brown coming out with brake petal in either position. Can I assume this switch is bad? (I tried to use the cruise with this disconnected and it still didn't work.)

I got a positive fix for my particular CC problem.
The Reverse/Neutral Safety Switch mount on the transaxle was the problem. This affected four 'problems' - cc, door locks, backup lights and trunk release.
The cruise control module had been wrongly diagnosed because the scan of data from the main ECM indicated that the cc was enabled when it really was disabled - that could be a problem in the ECM but with no other symptoms becomes a non-problem now.
lectron44 - from the sound of everything you have checked and the fact that you experienced some surging, it points more and more to the module itself. I now have a used module (ACD 25140216) that you can probably talk me out of for a pretty cheap price.

johndmc,

Thanks for the offer. My neighbor is visiting his friend's junkyard in Peoria this week and thinks he can get the module and brake switch - it may not work that way.

If it doesn't work out what do you need for it, and is it the same as mine? (different number than was posted on this thread)
