Cruise control module

[trailboy]

Does anyone know where the cruise control module is located? I need to troubleshoot the cruise and the steering wheel radio controls, Neither works and that is the only thing they have in common.,, Hmmm!

Might be the clockspring inside the steering wheel. The module should be under the hood, drivers side behind the coolant resevoir. Follow the cables from the throttle body. One is for the gas pedal and the other goes to the cruise control module.

OK, thanks, but the controls for the radio on the steering wheel run through the cruise module, do you think they would have ran those wires out under the hood and back in?

Well, my guess is that it`s actually the clockspring. Does the horn work? Also, I`ve had problems before because of a defective ignition switch...thats slightly different but not out of the question.
The first step in your 'common ground' idea is the clockspring. It allows the steering wheel to turn while allowing electrical connections to remain intact from steering wheel controls. The wires can and do break inside that clockspring. They aren`t cheap but you should be able to get one from wreckers. Once you know for sure it`s not the clockspring or a fuse, I`d ask/go to someone who deals with auto electric issues.

I found the cruise control module, it is under the hood just behind the coolant reservoir, I have tested the wires from the switch to the module and have checked for continuity and switch operation = ok, replaced module, still not working.

Any ideas?
