I have the exact same problem with my cougar and I know the solution. The cable that runs from the cruise control to the throttle body has probably either come off of where it should be or it has snapped in half. They are steel (I guess you could say braided) cables and mine is frayed so it's loose and it jumps off easily. I called the local Mercury dealer in town and they said that it runs about $46 but a junkyard will work just the same.

No. The Cruise Control is controlled by the engine ECM. If your cruise control isn't working, you probably either have a bad switch to actuate the cruise control, or a brake pedal switch which is in constant contact, and thus telling the computer it's engaged when it isn't.
