Strange as this sounds, I had a brakelight go out and of course the "out lite" indicator came on. I saw it was a brake lite and bought one from the dealer. ALL lites worked but the out lite indicator continued to illuminate everytime I hit the brake and then would go off. Then, if you turned on the headlamps, the out lite would come on and stay on until the car was shut off. Also, the cruise control failed to work if the lites were on. As I needed to get my NJ inspection, I began to look closer. I ordered another brake lite from the dealer but since they had none in-house I went to the local Pep boys. They sold them in packs of two. Inspecting the one purchased from the dealer, it had ONE contact on the bottom of the bulb where the Pep Boys where TWO contact bulbs. Once I put in two bulbs that had two contacts, everything worked perfectly. The single contact bulb worked as far as the brake illumination, but left the "out lite" indicator wanting.

Also, the cruise control started working once the correct bulbs were installed

It drove me nuts for awhile but keep looking. Maybe it's something as simple as that.
