Cruise control

The cruise control in my 96 F-150 5 litre 4x4 just stopped working. It's not a fuse. Can anyone advise me of what else I should look for? Thanks people...

Does your horn work? Is the airbag light on the dash flashing too. If so, then the clock spring quite possibly the clock spring inside the steering column is busted.
