Default Front Brake issues

I recently had a speed sensor go bad on my 03 Road King Classic during a cross country trip. Of course this messed up my speedometer, cruise and gave me a check engine light. I stopped in at the Las Vegas HD to get it fixed. They got me in and on my way in less than 24 hours.....but my front brake no longer cancelled the cruise. I know now the front brake does not activate my brake light.

I am back in North Carolina and cannot figure out the problem. I have the Deluxe Panacea Taillight kit on my bike but everything else seems to work.

Any suggestions???

Also does anyone have the panacea installation guide? I cannot find mine and would like to review the current set up.

thanks to all!!
