i need a top cap button for the on-off switch for the cruse control
Some cars have 2 switches on the pedal. one for brake lights and one for the cruise cont. Did you replace the right one??
Vacuum lines, clutch switches, ...
the air bag needs to be removed in order to have access to the screws holding down the switch.
You cant'
my control cable frayed....
my cruise control light will blink on an off and the care will move.when it is not blinking the truck will not move, why is that
One for brake lights, one for cruise control. If you hit the brakes when using cruise control, that second switch is what tells the control modules that the brake is being depressed.
On the backside of your steering wheel there are two screws you need to remove. These are covered over with circular covers which you can easily remove. Having removed the 2 screws you can gently remove the whole unit which contains the air bag. You will see the control switches for your cruise control and your light bulbs for your cruise control (octagon like head - may be blue in color). You can turn this counter clockwise and lift off. The cruise controls may also be released from their switches by gently pulling apart (should you have need to replace them) . Some people remove these when the rubber touch pads get old however they are needed to keep your horn grounded. It is basically removing only two buttons in the back of your steering wheel and the rest is a breeze. Hope this has been helpful.

explorerforums.com has a great walk thru
I believe there is no fuse just for the cruise control. The cruise control circuit is covered by the PCM. However, I would check the switches on the brake pedal.
Found this on the explorer forum... Hope it helps The cruise control switches on the steering wheel of my '99 finally bit the dust http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...cruise+control . The switches still function but the light output at night is very annoying. In view of the fact that I use cruise control daily/nightly, a new switch assembly was required. I ordered the new switch assembly from Torrie at Fast Parts Network ( http://www.fastpartsnetwork.com ). The part, SW-5928 F87Z9C888BB, cost $60.87 to my door. Caution: extreme care as well as safety glasses should always be used when handling a live air bag. The first step in the replacement was to disconnect the negative battery cable and wait about 15 minutes. This was followed by the removal of the two steering wheel cover plugs ( one on each side ) by prying loose with a pocket knife. After that, I removed the two driver side air bag module retaining bolts ( 8 mm ) with a ¼" air ratchet. Subsequently I removed the air bag module by gently lifting the module and disconnecting the electrical connector then pulling the module free. The module was then cautiously set aside while replacing the switches. The cruise control switches are held in place with 2 screws ( on each switch ). These were removed and the flat wire cable was unplugged from each switch. There was no need to replace the wiring harness since the switches still function and it was in pristine condition. Assembly was simply the reversal of the disassembly. The cruise control switch replacement took only 30 minutes ( including the 15 minute wait on the battery ) working at a relaxed pace. A short road test confirmed a successful installation. Further a test at night established the lights function.
