Default Electrical Issue

Driving down the highway and my cruise control went out. A few minutes later my active handling went out. Cleared the code and both work okay until I turn the lights on and then both will go out. Lights off they are okay. Any suggestions besides don't drive at night? The code seems to refer to an open circuit in the tail lamp circuit. I have LED tail lights but don't know if that is an issue. Anyone ever have a similar problem?

Those circuits ground thru the tail light bulb filaments. The LEDs could be the problem.

I have had LED tailights for over a year and the only thing I notice is every so often (during a turn) the flasher will cycle quite fast. No other problems!

C5's have a chassis ground corrosion issue. My recommendation would be to claen all the chassis grounds and see if that has any effect on the problem. See my sticckey post "IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL Information (LONG)
Onceyou accomplish that Preventave Maintenance project, let me know whats up!
