Hi,
My wife has been driving my 05 Sportage and called me from work to tell me that the battery was dead. She also just now informed me that the brake lights were staying on. She thought that they would shut off with the key out of the ignition.
I thought I might have to replace the brake switch, but I discovered that it was only loose. Instead of pushing in the button, the pedal was just lifting the whole assembly. I tightened the lower nut, and the brakes work fine now,
I had some problems with the cruse control, the past few years ( working sometimes, and sometimes not). Now the cruse control works fine now.
Hope this helps someone else.
Tom
