2003 XK8 - Check Rear Lights / Cruise Not Available
I have a 2003 XK8 4.2 with 43k miles. After I have been driving for a short time I get a warning message 'Check Rear Lights' which flashes intermittently with another message 'Cruise Not Available'.
Any ideas on what might be causing this would be most gratefully welcome!
Many thanks!

Your brake pedal switch is in the process of giving up the ghost. My wife's XK8's brake pedal switch exhibited the same dashboard messages just two weeks ago. A new brake pedal switch fixed it.

Congrats! I sure wish that 14-year-old Josh had been at our house three Sundays ago when my wife and I did her brake pedal switch replacement job. Josh probably would have cut the time required in half or better, and his presence would definitely have forced me to clean up my vocabulary throughout the process....
