The brake lights are not working on my 1994 Chevrolet Suburban. Also, the cruise control won't shut off when you hit the brake.

you should have battery voltage at the orange wire going into the brake switch.Then check the white wire there should be no voltage.Then press the brake pedal and see if the white wire has battery voltage.Let me know what you find.
