Not my forte, never even tried my cruise control since buying the car new in '01 LOL. Which fuse was blown? Is the AC working? My A/C CRUISE fuse feeds the AC compressor relay, cruise control switches and module. TTT for ya.

Maybe the switch on the turn signal stalk?

There is a plastic cover on the side of the turn signal column that should come out and expose the connector. I'd think you should be able to test the switch at that connector.

Isn't there a switch that goes off the clutch pedal as well? If I recall either this switch mount or the brake switch mount always seems to break. One of those I put back on a few years back with zip ties. I'll have to look if I have or posted pics.

I can't find pics on it. The normal failure for CC is this clutch pedal switch. The switch is above your shin not down on the floor at the master cylinder. Make sure the switch mount it not broken and/or the switch is adjusted properly.

Have you checked to see if you are getting power to the CC unit itself? I would have to look at a wiring diagram to see if it has constant power or just when the CC is engaged.
