Broken taillights affecting my cruise control

The cruise control in my 2012 Subaru Tribeca will now only operate when the lights are off. I just replaced a stop/tail light bulb. Is there a simple remedy?

I can’t see how the stop/taillight could affect the cruise control, but you could remove the bulb you replaced and see if the cruise then works. If it does then that’s a pointer to the cause of the malfunction. To be sure take it to a dealer or an auto elec and have the problem traced.
