"I may consult with a local automotive electronics "expert". "
This is only going to bear fruit if you give your "expert" some time to analyze the wiring diagrams associated with your Volvo. I have done that, so I know the bulb out sensor does indeed become "involved" with the cruise, but only if all the brake lights are out as a result of a broken solder connection within the sensor relay.
Dave's chucking advice is that of someone frustrated by mystery, and I have to agree, most owners of 240s without electrical savvy fall into this category.
It is frustrating to ask for advice, and be given conflicting information by well-meaning folk, some who have no clue what they're talking about. How do you determine who's right? Shoot for consensus? Now its time for your democracy analogy.
