Cruise Control quite

Riding to work this morning went to hit the CC and nothing. Started checking things out, found no Brake light. But I do have rear taillight. Check rear and front brake still no light.
Then just before I get to work , The engine light in the speedo comes on.
I'm going to check the rear tail/break light bulb. If its burnt out will that cancel the CC and whats the deal with the engine light? Is this all related?

Check it may be brake light on all the time!!

The front brake may be not closing the switch for the brake leaving the front break on all the time, also giving you no cruse control.

If the brake light stays on for a extended time it will through a code.

Looks like its the rear brake light switch. The bulb was full on both filaments were on.
Seems this is a common problem from what I've been told.

Cotton that happened to me last year. I was on 202 with cruise on and cruise turned off. I arrived at my destination and discovered that my brake light was on and not turn off. Turned out the front brake light switch broke and had to be replaced.

Service manual recommends putting a 5/32 shim between the lever and the switch housing when removing the housing to prevent what you are talking about. If you've had the housing off and did not do this, that could be the reason its broke.
