Cruise control

Yeah I tried that. Most annoying as I never use cruise control in any vehicle I have!!!! I pulled it out of the garage to hoover it inside and put it back. Not sure if I could have disturbed the brake light switch or clutch switch ?!?? Apparently these are linked according to what I've read
Try driveing the car and pressing the cruise button .. if that doesnt work have a look up at the pedals , you can just about see the switches and if anything is disconnected .. not something ive seen though if it is .
Failing that a vehicle handover with a tester is the next thing i would be looking at .
If you never use the cruise control then it can be coded off with a tester .. that will stop the light And the cruise from working .

I'd agree with more and more vehicles having sensors for everything they are a minefield and can throw up the oddest things! I own a Vito van for work and the Benz canbus wiring is at times bizarre!! One thing goes down, affects something unrelated at the other end of the van!
Aghh Can bus 
.. gota love it .. we also have Lin Bus on the newer models so master and slave controllers and not just a loop of control units.
To be fair its a pretty solid system on Porsche and the 996 is just a basic one ..
There is also no choice but to have it .. the wiring on modern cars with out it would make them a lot heavier and the systems slower .
First training cource i did on this many years ago and they made us convert binary into hex then Ascii to understand what the binary message was .. 30 mins to convert one 16 / 32 bit message .. absoulutly no use what so ever on a car but it did teach us the shear speed which these systems work at .
I digress though .. try what has been mentioned and see how you get on ..
There is always the codeing off option .
