Generally cruise will turn itself off when the car is turned off, but it is always good to be sure, I always turn it off when I am not using it.
Sounds like the brake light switch is broken or out of adjustment and yes it would cause the cruise control not to work.
Check the front blinker bulb to see if it is indeed flashing when it is turned on...In my 2004 Malibu, fast flashing indicates that a front blinker bulb has burned out.
Of course because you turned your blinker on yes it is.
I just had a good reliable shop diagnose my cruise issue. Turned out the cruise was fine but the vehicle speed sensor was damaged and wasn't relaying any signal to the cruise system. It runs off the transmission and was around $100 plus time plus diagnosis time. 1993 Explorer 4x4 5spd XLT.
I have a 2002 F250 that had the same problem. It turned out to be a short in the wire coming from the cruise control on the shift lever.
when you flip your blinker on, a relay in the circuit is activated which turns the light on and off. also, the front blinker and rear blinker usually alternate in turning off and on, so when the back is on, the front will be off, and reverse.. that's why when a bulb is out, the clicking sound in the vehicle goes faster than when both are in working order.
As far as I know the clock spring allows the wiring to the steering wheel horn and cruise control buttons to feed in and out when the steering wheel is turned

Generally speaking, you can not pull out of a parking lot into on coming traffic. The on coming traffic most always will have the right away, regardless of your blinker!
This is pretty easy to figure out with a bit 'tracing'... There are 2 cables attaching to the throttle body - one goes to the gas pedal, the other will go to the cruise control servo. That's how I found mine in my '87 Semi-interesting story: In the course of working on my 87, I had occasion to unbolt the servo unit. Not long after, the cruise started acting up, working when it felt like it. Turned out I had turned the servo unit 1 full revolution and put a twist on the wiring harness - un-twisted it and all was well until the car's retirement. Only took me a year to figure that one out. ;)
