Default Brake sag

So I noticed my on my 2000 conv, cruise control shuts off when I hit bumps, but if I put my foot under the brake pedal and pull it up tight, it never disengages so that little bit of sag in the brake pedal causes my cruise control to shut off or not turn on. I had new Willwood brakes installed, and it didn’t fix that problem that I had previously.

So it sounds like you replaced the brake system instead of adjusting the brake light switch?

It was time to do my break so I did an upgrade and I didn’t know if that was gonna fix the problem. I should’ve said something while they were working on it, but I’m reading now that it is probably the brake light switch. Seems like it’s pretty easy to adjust or maybe it just snapped out of place a little bit ?
