Default Help my cruise control stopped working!

Hi all I am new to this site. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

I have a 1996 Dodge Caravan and the cruise control stopped working awhile ago and and I am wondering if there is a fuse for that or what is the deal.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks

Welcome to DF
Does the horn blows or the automatic door locks lock? You could have a bad clockspring which should be a recall.

NO all the other things work it is just the cruise control. Any ideas?

Could be a bad switch or no vacuum at the servo or even the servo itself. You should have the van ck'ed for any stored codes.

The speed control switches have power supplied to them by the PCM so there is no fuse for them. If the PCM has faults set for the servo, the cruise lamp will not illuminate when pressing the on switch.

The brake lamp switch signals the PCM to cut power to servo so if it is out of adjustment, the cruise will not operate.
