Probably a brake light switch problem. May be able to adjust, or may need to replace.
I just replaced the brake light switch in my 1998 Mazda Protege LX and the problem came back. I believe the cruise control could be shorting out the brake light switch.

Check all fuses. Wait until dark. Park where you could see the glow of the brake lights from inside the truck, were they to illuminate. Press and hold the brake pedal. Wiggle the turn signal switch about for a few seconds. If this causes the brake lights to work or to flicker, replace turn signal switch. Move tilt steering up and down.

How do you fix the brake lights on a 1966 mustang?
How the brake lights work on a 66 Mustang is very simple. Power goes from the headlight switch to the brake light switch, then through the turn signal switch and back to the brake lights. There is no fuse in that system. There is a self resetting circuit breaker in the headlight switch, but, if that was tripped, none of the lights on the car would work. The first thing to check is the brake light switch itself by bypassing it. Unplug the connector from the switch and run a jumper from from one slot in the connector to the other. If the brake lights come on, replace the brake light switch. If they don't, the problem is either a wire has lost continuity or there is a problem in the turn signal switch.
