Sounds like a bad or loose ground wire, it would be located in the trunk near the tail light assembly, the other switch is for the cruise contro, it's what cuts the cruise when you hit the brakes.

1971 Olds Cutlass Supreme. Dash brake light stays

They are unrelated. Just make sure your brake release is fully relesed. The switch turns the light on if the release isn't against it fully.

Abs light is on

youre car needs to have an abs diagnostic work up done on it to get a trouble code and to go futher with a repair. on a cutlass the brakes will feel fine with the abs light on but they will not divert brake pressure in the event of a panic stop thus causing a wheel to skid.
good luck. chris

Brake lights

There is a micro switch at the top of the brake pedal that activates the brake lights when you depress the pedal. This switch likely has to be replaced. Any mechanic can do this in about 15 mins.
