Cruise Control (and only cruise control) has stopped working on my explorer. Want to check the basics (fuses, sensors, wires, etc…) before I take it in for service. In looking over owners’ manual & fuse/relay boxes, nothing is labeled for cruise control. Anyone know which fuses to check that would affect the cruise control?

The cruise control fuse is located in the battery junction box, left side of the engine compartment near the fender apron. It’s fuse #15, 15 amp.

But also check for a burned out brake light. If one is burned out the cruise control won’t work.
