Cruise Control on 1995 2500 V10
Years ago I had a very small fire under the hood and the cruise control has not worked since then. It is not really a big deal because I rarely drive this vehicle. Although it still runs good, the last few years it has been driven less than 100 miles per year. Anyway, what controls the cruise control, a wire, hose, etc.? After the small fire everything else still worked but I am sure that the fire was the cause of the cruise failure and now I would finally like to fix it.
Any info or suggestions on what and where to look for to correct this cruise failure would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Don

The module pulls on the throttle with a cable, but it needs manifold vacuum to operate. Very possible the hose melted and it no longer gets the vacuum it needs. It also has a wire harness that connects to it, otherwise I think the PCM is in charge of telling it what to do. So I'd say it's got to be an issue with the wire harness into the CC or the vacuum hose that goes to it. I can grab a picture of anything you need, I've got the same year and engine. What caused the fire if I may ask?
Edit: Looks like Dude beat me too it, haha.

The oil pressure had always been somewhat low so a couple of years after I purchased the vehicle new I decided to check into it. A friend of mine actually designed the heads for the V10 engine so I obviously went to him first. If I remember correctly he said that that engine was built to have high oil volume with rather low pressure. I had already changed sending units so he gave me an oil pressure gauge and the necessary attachments to hook it directly to the engine. Well, somewhere along the line some oil got on the exhaust manifold and caused a fire which I quickly put out but that was the end of the CC. I suspect that it might be the hose....any idea where it is on the engine?
