IT could be a few things. First, have the computer scanned to see if there are any trouble codes stored.

If your cruise control is not working and your not getting any error codes with the self test AND the pedal is NOT moving at the end of the test...Check the Speed Control Deactivation Switch (the plug coming out of the Brake Cylinder going to the servo), if its leaking brake fluid its bad...a $15 part from your dealer and an easy fix, unscrew the old and screw in the new.

yah, i think they did finally decide to fuse the harness just as a backup measure? cause they sure didn't cure the problem well.
