Need Help

1982 f-150 4X4 351w. The cruise control isn't working. I changed the switches on the steering wheel, checked all the wires and hoses, cleaned all of the connections and plug ins, changed the fluid pressure switch and checked the fuse. I tore my dash apart looking for the light bulb that is supposed to come on when the cruise is on, but, I don't think it has one.

I believe your cruise is the same as this 86 diagram in this link. Read up on it, lots of things to check that can go wrong and make it not work.

What is the "fluid pressure switch"?
Perhaps OP is referring to the "Vacuum Dump Valve" (under dash at brake pedal)?
