Cruise light will always come on, but cruise is not always able to be set.

Was driving with cruise set just before dusk ... turned on lights ... cruise 'died'.

Performed a simple test:
1/. Lights out ... 'set' cruise ... all ok. :)
2/. Cruise died when lights turned on again. ('Set' light went out ... cruise wouldn't re-set.)
3/. Turned lights off ... Cruise able to be set again. :)

Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this fault?

The only other electrical 'issue' I have is that the cabin light isn't working. I think a wire wasn't hooked up again when the hail damage was repaired.

Was the cruise working before you took it to the panel beaters?
I know its a pain in the arse, if its panel beater related - get them fix it.
