brake lights and cruise control not working

This tiny part is a real pain in the ass to change out. You will definitely need two people because if you take it in to be fixed, it's extremely expensive because of the difficulty. But my husband and I were able to do it. You need one person holding the brake pedal while the other one changes the switch. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it but we got it done and it hasn't given us a problem since. It fixed both the brake lights and the cruise control.
