Well, I don't know if it took the computer a while to figure it out or what, but after getting my emergency brake switch working, which at first, did not fix the cruise, now the cruise is working great.

(Edit 5-30-08: Actually, about a week later, the cruise quit again, so I am suspecting the "clock spring" again.)

Odd thing is, my emergency brake switch was stuck in the OFF position, so the emergency light was not ever coming ON, so you would think this would not effect the cruise, but now that I cleaned the switch and have the light going ON and OFF correctly, the cruise is working. Horn is still not working though.

I am going to replace the emergency brake switch because the little head of it seems to be broke off from the post, although after cleaning it, it seems to work. (Edit 5-30-08: Now I have replaced the switch, but cruise not working, checking into what it takes to replace the clock spring.)

EDIT 6-15-09: REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING, DID NOT FIX CRUISE OR THE HORN. IT WAS ONLY ABOUT $70, NEW ONE IS UPDATED PART # AND LOOKS LIKE A NEW DESIGN, I'VE HEARD THEY GO OUT ALOT ANYWAY.

EDIT 6-26-09: REPLACED THE HORN RELAY, FIXED THE CRUISE. PUT OLD RELAY BACK IN, NO CRUISE. PUT NEW RELAY BACK IN, CRUISE WORKS. HORN RELAY IS IN FUSE PANEL UNDER LEFT SIDE OF DASH.

I SUPPOSE BOTH THE CLOCK SPRING & THE HORN RELAY COULD HAVE BOTH BEEN BAD.

NOTE: MY HORN HAS NEVER WORKED AND IT BLOWS THE FUSE IN THE PANEL UNDER LEFT SIDE OF DASH. HORN STILL DOES NOT WORK, BUT THE CRUISE NOW DOES. GOING TO PULL THE HORNS NEXT.
