Cruise?
Sure it ain't vacuum? Try with booster line plugged?
Was this the switch you replaced? http://cleanflametrap.com/brakelights.htm

Have you done anything under the dash lately?

Have you or anyone else done ANYTHING to the car?

I would suspect that you may be pinching or shorting a wire near the brake pedal.

The other thing you could do is to check and clean any grounds that you can find - especially any involving the ignition system. Check the ground connections between the engine and body - add one if you have to.
