I imagine that your '96 is the same as mine, and that the cruise control ON/OFF and SET switches are on the end of the turn signal/headlight switch. On or the other of those switches may be bad, or the connection to the switches has come loose. In either case, you will need to remove the shroud around the steering column to gain access to the headlight/turn signal/cruise switch. If you end up replacing it, it comes out with only one screw, but take note of how the wiring harnesses are routed and be sure to re-route them the same wayor you'll have a heck of a time getting the switch seated properly when you put the new one in.

Why does car decelerate 5-7 mph when cruise control is on?

If the car is going up an incline, it will attempt to keep the speed constant with the setting of the cruise control. When that process is satisfied, the car may decelerate a bit to keep the same speed. If the car continually decelerates whe using the cruise control. stop using the cruise and have it checked. It id very dangerous to use the cruise control that is not operating properly. It could cause the car to accelerate unexpectedly.
