The bulb removal did the trick. Cruise working fine now. Could these issues be a bad ground?

i'm with the others.. somewhere something was leaking to / affecting the brake circuit, and thus tripping the cruise...

ever see turn signals make a brake controller pulse.. etc..

I've read where the 3rd brake light can also cause issues with the button on the shift lever that turns off overdrive and make that light flash.

Funny you say that. It was doing this exact thing about a month or so ago.

is that a gem wireing issue? I know when i had a water leak from a top cab light.. water ran down driver side pillar and got GEM module wet.. and i had that OD light blinking on my 99 350.

removed and resealed all my cab lights and it took care of the issue. AFTER i got a new GEM module :)

No cab lights, but it could be a gem issue. The truck does have a few electrical gremlins.

any time i see weird electrical problems involving gauges, dash lamps, dome lamps, map lights and door lamps / door open sensor.. I think GEMM.. it controlls ALL that.

I thought my truck was posessed. it's door locks were auto locking and unlocking. gauges bouncing all over.. etc...
