You should check the brake switch. Is that what you replaced?

When I turn the car off it resets itself, so I Have to re engaged the cruise control to get the error message. I have a pending code of P1111. The last 6 digits of my VIN is 027727.

Well I took it into the shop. The problem was a Clogged vacuum hose. Fixed - Cruise control working beautifully.
