there is no relay or fuse for the circuit. will have to test the cruise control brake pedal position (BPP) switch, the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) , cruise control vacuum pump and the cruise control switch. may be easier just to use a diagnostic scan tool capable of scanning cruise control systems to pinpoint the culprit.
