2008 Suburban cruise control not working

yea, that's a common saying... sadly this one isn't mine, just one I was asked to work on. I have 3 of my own (boat + 2 jet skis) and usually end up working on my dads...which has twin 525s in it (now... we pulled the 502s)
got the new impeller in the water pump, and did what i feared I would... reversed the in/out hoses... took an extra 45 min, but i fixed it... ran fine w/the hose on land, now to get it on the water! then get it SOLD.

Cruise control engagement fixed!
Fixed my 2008 Tahoe's cruise control not engaging by replacing the Brake Pedal switch. $18 part plus labor to replace. Thanks to this forum it was an easy fix.

I took the advice in this column and purchased the AC Delco part from Chevrolet parts store. Replaced the Brake Light Swith P/N D1539J 25981009 on my 2008 Suburban. The cruise control light comes on but the cruise would not kick in. Now it does after replacing this switch. Thank You -- Prostec

My dealer covered my brake sensor ($10 their cost), but they wouldn't cover the door lock actuator during the first month...this is why I now trash talk STARK Chevrolet in Wisconsin FOREVER. I just spent $19k and they couldn't fix a $150 issue? I told them to GET LOST.
p.s.
I removed the Dealer decal off the back of my truck, no free advertising for them!

this is a very simple fix. I picked up the brake light switch at the local parts store for 20 bucks. Removed the 10mm bolt and the clip. The clip is tricky in that it slides up in order to remove it. Unplug the switch and remove it, replace it in the opposite order. Took about 10 minutes to replace. The cruise control was fixed.

Fixed!
I was a bit confused a few months back because I was told to replace the "Brake pedal position switch". Oh, how incorrect...but it was cheap so I replaced it anyway. I ordered my Brake light switch from Amazon for $11 & it arrived today. The hardest part of the job for me was searching through hubby's tools and NOT finding a 10mm wrench. I substituted by using adjustable pliers (that kept slipping the adjustment) and a 10mm socket by hand once it was loose enough.
There's a decent amount of locktite on the bolt, so it took some force.
I will suggest a headlamp to give a little extra light without holding a flashlight in your teeth (yea, I tried that first).
Actual work time (minus unsuccessful tool location) was about 5-10minutes. Took my beastly Burb around the neighborhood and had working cruise for the first time in nearly 4 years!
If your cruise is out, skip the dealership & DIY!
