There are no specific fuses or relays involved in the cruise control system on your truck.

What is your concern?

Customer replied 1309 days and 6 hours ago.

I bought the truck used. The cruise control has never worked. I got a new steering wheel cruise control switch at a junk yard and the green light comes on when I push the on/off switch. I found a little tube disconected from the, I think you call it the actuator, mounted on the left front wheel well. I reconnected that yesterday, no easy task since the thing is under the shelf the battery sits on and I couldn't get the shelf off, but still the cruise isn't working. I thought there might be a fuse or a relay to check.

Ok, that little tube is likely a vacuum line. Check to see if you have vacuum on that line and that it is connected to the intake manifold on the other end.

The 2 most likely causes would be a bad brake light switch or the servo itself which is what the little tube attaches to.

Here is a test for the servo.

Start engine.

DisconnectXXXXXelectrical connector at servo

Turn speed control switch to ON position.

Check for battery voltage at pin - 3 of wiring harnessXXXXXconnector This is the 12 volt feed from the stoplamp switch. When the brake pedal is depressed, voltage should not be present at pin - 3. If voltage is not present with brake pedal not depressed, check for continuity between servo and stop lamp switch. Also check stop lamp switch adjustment. Refer toBrakes for procedures.

Connect a small gauge jumper wire between the disconnected servo harnessXXXXXconnector pin - 3, and pin - 3 on the servo. Check for battery voltage at pins - 1, 2 and 4 of the servo. If battery voltage is not at these pins, replace the servo

Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Check for continuity between disconnected servo harnessXXXXXconnector pin - 4 and a good ground. There should be continuity. If not OK, repair open circuit to ground as required
