Is it one side step, or both? If it is just one, I would suspect a faulty actuator. If both are not operating, it could go deeper. Does the cruise control power up with the switch, and just not set?

With the cigar lighter outlet situated as it is, it is a magnet for debris. Anything conductive will short it and open the fuse. Coins, jewelry, even gum wrappers contain some foil, and have been culprit. Check the outlet for debris, and see what happens. I am not sure just yet, if it is a power source for the cruise control. Reply to post after checking the above.
