Tribeca Stop lights, Globes and Cruise Control

[ScottinForster]

I drove the Tribeca home and noticed that the anti skid light came on and the cruise control wouldn't work. I thought it odd then worried about the repair cost!
The next evening I noticed that the stop bulb was not working as I followed the car home. Actually it was a little intermittent in that initially it was the driver side then both sides. Then back to only driver side, the center LED's worked fine.

I replaced the bulb and hey presto the cruise issues disappeared and there were no other faults.

BUT don't buy cheap bulbs (from Super Cheap Auto), the small nipple at the base of the globe is too long. This does not allow the globes to click into place and they will fall out. Buy the Philips globes (Autobarn) you will notice the nipple at the base is much smaller and they will work fine.

Good tip

I seem to remember some posts somewhere bout the ECU doing funny things when a brake light goes out...
