whacky electrical issue

So my brake lights stay on. The brake switch is not broken.

Fuse #46 is tied to the cluster, cruise control, and brake lights.

My cruise control stopped working as well. How shall I proceed? It's somewhat dangerous not having functional brake lights.

ideas anyone?

I'd swap out that fuse #46 for a new one just to be certain.

Figured it out. Brake switch broke... cheap ass plastic. It popped out of the bracket, so the car thought I was pressing the brakes the whole time, thus disabling the cruise control. I'm tired of buying brake switches!!
