• Q: How to replace the Brake Light Switch (Cruise Control) on 2001 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: The replacement process for brake release switch (Cruise Control) starts with insulator panel removal from the driver side along with disconnecting the upper switch electrical connector. The upper brake release switch can be extracted by turning it counterclockwise. You must keep the Brake Pedal fully up or at rest while installing brake release switch (Cruise Control) to protect the brake system from damage and avoid incorrect switch adjustment. You should attach the upper brake release switch electrical connector before installing the switch into the upper retainer where the connector faces the 6 o'clock position. The brake release switch assembly and the stoplamp switch assembly should not undergo adjustment until the brake booster pushrod connects to the Brake Pedal assembly to avoid cruise control system problems. Complete the procedure by adjusting the brake release switch followed by reinstallation of the driver side insulator panel.
