Look at your brake master cylinder, open the top to it, and check your brake fluid. If low, that is why the brake light is on. Or check to see if your emergency brake is pushed in. Check your fuses for the cruise control. Hope this helps, James Booth

Could having a brake booster replaced cause problems with my speedometer and crusie control

Certainly there is a connection between the brake and the cruise control as applying the footbrake would cancel or pause the cruise control. I am not sure about the speedo though.

Your description suggests there is something deeper going on due to the lurching and you should take the vehicle back to the repairer that replaced the booster and complain bitterly.

While driving hit resume cruise control and the car speed up to 100 and brakes would not work. Had to shut engine off in middle of freeway, what could it be?

Could be a faulty cruise control servo activator. The power to move the cruise control Actuator is most likely coming from the Brake power hydraulic booster vacuum pipe and if the cruise control vacuum servo is failing and leaking in air you lose the brakes power hydraulics.
check the vacuum pipe coming off the power booster brake master cylinder vacuum pipe you may find a tee connector in the vacuum main pipe and follow it to see where it goes to. Could be a break in the cruise control vacuum hose but if it is only happening when the cruise control is activated a fault or leak in the cruise control servo device is the main suspect. Which you should find at the other end of the cruise control vacuum hose.

2002 saturn L200. Cruise light comes on with the steering wheel control but the cruise doesn't work. I have checked the fuses all were good. Any suggestions?

Check the brake light swihch, make sure it functions correctly aslo see if there is another switch by the brake light sw some gm cars use more than on switch. make sure the linkage for thec/c cable is connected at the throttle body, the control module for the c/c control is below the power brake booster hope thi helps

1999 Lincoln Continental. The cruise will turn on but will not set. Recently had Sears replace the brake booster, is there any cruise components that have to be removed or disconnected to complete this...

The cruise control mechanism is in the area of the booster, so it is possible they had to remove it to get to the booster. It may just be unplugged.

Had brake booster replaced ,now no cruise control working..

the brake light switch is out of adjustment, the cruise thinks you are stepping on the brake. you will need to get the plunger on the switch to the right length and then your cruise should work

Leaking brake fluid + Faulty cruise control

If you see fluid at the rear of the master where it attaches to the power booster then the cylinder itself is leaking. It's not often that the container leaks.
The hissing noise is very likely coming from the power booster. This must be replaced. If cruise has a vacuum hose that connects to hose to booster it's possible that vacuum loss at booster is causing the cruise problem.If you are going to do the booster, have a good tech take a look at it first. they are expensive and you don't want to change it on my advice alone...I'm not there and can't hear it!
