Im having problems with the third brake light, the right license plate light (both of which I replaced - and nothing) and the cruise control. I was told here that it may be the rear SAM.

I replaced the brake switch and the cruise did not work.

Any thoughts before I buy a SAM?

yes, I traced all the wiring to make sure nothing was cut, wrapped them in a protective sheath, checked all grounds and nothing.

still just those three problems, brake light, license plate light and cruise.

Does it sound like the SAM?
