An intermittant surging problem would seem not to be logically caused by a brake light bulb, because hitting the brake would either disengage the CC or not disengage it. As I understand the device, the amp cannot reingage after one hits the brakes.

It's probably more likely to be a bad circuit in some other portion of the amp.
