Electrical Gremlins Strike !
Ok- so we're 200 miles from home in our RV (1994 E350 based) and we get in to go and it won't start- no click, no noise- nothing. I climb under and try to unplug the starter relay wire and it doesn't want to come off easily so I ask my wife to try again and it starts.
We drive home without turning it off and when we stop to switch drivers I notice the cruise just quit working. It had worked before this. Then no turn signals. Hazards worked at the time but don't now. Either do the brake lights! It does start tho.
I checked all the fuses I can find and can't find a blown fuse. Our local dealer doesn't work on RV's so it hasn't had the recall upgrade on the cruise control.
What could it be?
Thanks-

Your 2nd post nailed it, your muliti-switch is shot.
That controls the turns, hazards, bright beams, and windshield wipers.
Also, the brake switch is tied into the switch, with the hazards.
With the brake switch/hazards problem, it will shut down the cruse control, like when you step on the brakes to dis-engage the cruse.
Not too hard to replace, just need to remove the steering column cover, and the key switch, there have been post on here in the pass on this removal.
