I believe the mechanical devices are operational, however when I push the button on my steering wheel to turn cruise control on, the light within the instrument cluster doesn't come on. Iv'e already checked the fuse, disconnected the harness plug on steering wheel column but didn't know how to proceed without a wiring diagram
Thanks in advance for your help

I agree with lab. It sounds like the clockspring assembly has failed. This repair requires removal of the air bag and steering wheel to access. On your particular vehicle, there is no rubber diaphragm as the other poster suggests. This type of system is electronically controlled. Have you checked under the hood by the master cylinder for brake fluid leakage to your cruise control brake disable switch? That would cause your cruise control not to work as well. Hope this helps.

Car has an airbag. If you want to do this you need to disconnect the battry and let it sit for about 30 mins. Time may be shorter. This discharges the temporary power cells in the airbag system. On the other side of the wheel there should be screws that hold the front trim piece on. Remove these and then you should have access to the switches. Get a Haynes manual if your unsure.

The clock spring in the steering wheel often go bad (wires break). The only repair is to replace it. Not DIY.

If you want to be sure, then get the Chilton's manual on that year of car. Go to the wire harness section, then to trouble shooting. It should tell you what to do from there. You can get the manual at auto zone, o reilies, napa auto centers, libraries, and the computer.

Check the diaphram. CC's work on vacuum principle. Could have a crack in the rubber which won't allow proper function.

It's either in your vaccuum lines or your linkage.
