Put your foot behind the brake pedal and lift up. Then try the cruise control while keeping the upward pressure on it, if it works your stoplight switch needs to be replaced.

Another thing to check is the vacuum lines that run to it. They are bad about rotting out under the battery tray where the battery acid can drip on them.

drivers side. you have to pull the battery and the tray to get to it. there are two bolts you have to take out from under the truck.

I've always been able to replace the vacuum line under battery without removing the battery or tray.
