There is no fuse for it. It is controlled by vacuum. What year? Your buttons could of went bad, does the cruise light come on?

On my 96 the button contacts had become dirty-dusty. I blasted them with compressed air and now the cruz works. I learned that in a forum.
Give the whole system a look over. It is vacuum operated.
From the throttle body the cruise connects with a cable, make sure that cable is connected then follow the cable to the cruise control body. It has a vacuum line connected make sure it is secure. Also an electrical plug.
If this all fails then it could be in the brake pedal switch which cancels the cruz and operates the brake lights. Or if the brake pedal does not release off the brake switch.
It's usually something simple when it comes to the cruise.
Good Luck

Is the World going to come to an end if your cruise control does not work? Drama much?

If the light isn't coming on, it's your buttons. I have a set of 98 buttons, can't use them in a 2000.
