If the brake light it on it is generally because you are low on brake fluid.

2005 chevy trailblazer - no cruise control and brake lights only work when key is turned off

I would check the turn signal switch. The cruise and turn signal are on the same switch. The brake lights go through the switch before going to the brake lights. And the turn signals don't work with the ignition off.

2005 Malibu Maxx cruise control won't turn on. Worked one day next day would not.

this could be a blown fuse(which you can check) or a mis-adjusted cruise cut out switch that works off of the brake switch.you may want to go to a shop that can check the cruise with a tool that has the capablilities to check cruise controls as it could be a switch or control unit that has gone bad.

How to set cruise control

Look for a button on the steering wheel that has a symbol of a windsheild wiper with dotted lines. Once you press the button you will see the cruise light come on. The light should be on the right side of the dash console. Set your cruise to desired speed.

2005 malibu where is the brake light switch?

There isn't one.  This car has a "brake and throttle by wire" system and the brake light switch is inside of that.  You have a bad brake position sensor.  Figure $240 or so at a dealer.
