Hey William, I'd be tempted to install a separate switch, on the brake lever itself (like you get with the GoWesty Rostra kit), and that should work. I only have to touch the brakes to turn off my cruise control, rather than push until the brake light comes on. A resistor should make the system you have work... basically the brake lights draw so little power that the computer thinks they don't work, so won't engage as a safety measure.
