Power to the cruise control system comes from the PCM. There's no fuse or relay.

More than likely the left Speed Control switch (ON/OFF) is acting up.

These switches are year specific if you go looking for one at the bone yard.

The switch circuits go through the clockspring.
 
You can disassemble the steering wheel touch pads, disconnect the harness for the switches and measure resistance across the switches when activated. If they measure properly; there is a chance the ribbon cable either has cracked wires or bad terminal connections.
 
Does the horn work?

Yes.
Talked to the previous owner today,he verified that the cruise does work,however you must hold the button in for a little while. Probably points to a bad switch.
Previous owner sold this 98 to buy a 85 2Dr 5 spd w/ a V6:eek:.He is tickled $hitless with it,told me he ordered new floor pans,drivers floor"you could throw a pumpkin thru it". No head liner,cracked windshield,needs paint,seats are all torn,It will be a project!
