Yeah I've already fitted a new brake light switch - unless I needed to do something with it before putting it in. The guides said not to touch the end

Yes Parso, from memory it was a airbag off job. Then take the switch pack out and test the contacts.
A faulty brake light switch is usually associated with christmas lights and fault messages.

Haha I was hoping to not have to do battle with the airbag but I guess it is time to watch a few videos. I've got no errors so I think that'll be nextQuote:

Have you had someone drive behind to check that the brake lights are not flashing on?
Finally got round to replacing the Cruise Control wiring loom.
Sadly still nothing when I press the buttons. Now to work out if it's the switch pack or the clock spring.
My entertainment controls on the steering wheel became unreliable a few years ago (RRS)
Solved by replacing the "clockspring" Taking the airbag assembly off is straightforward. Disconnect the battery and I allowed an hour to drain any residual charge from the electronics
The bag assembly can be released from the wheel using hooked wires
Mickyg very kindly sent me his old switch packs that sadly didn't fix the issue so it can only be the spring now. Hopefully will be here Monday and I can put this to bed.Quote:

So I have now replaced the brake light switch, the cruise control pack, the wiring loom, and the clock spring and still no cruise control.
Really not sure where to go now...
