Cruise Control "popped"???

I've got a 2000 SD250 CC SB 5.4. The other day I went to set the cruise and when I pushed the set button on the wheel, I heard a "POP" either in the dash or under the hood. The cruise went dead. Prior to this, I never had any issues with the cruise. I checked fuses and everything looked ok? Any suggestions on my problem or how to figure it out???
Thanks.
Steve

Anybody out there???? I posted this last year and no body replied? I still don't have an answer. Getting tired of driving with my foot on the gas all the time and to cheap to go to the stealer.

My fuse is good. I replaced the brake switch on the master cylinder with no luck. Whith the cruise turned on and moving down the road-when I push "set", the cruise light on the dash will flash and go out instantly. I can hear a "click" under the hood at the same moment, but cruise will not set???

Any suggestions on what the issue might be or how to diagnose it??

Patiently awaiting your replys,
Steve

Is there a relay switch under there. If you heard a pop, but the fuse is good, that's the only thing I can think of. Trace your wires out of the fuse box, up to the column and see if there is a relay in there anywhere. Relays are cheap, unless you get the usual dealer MARKUP.

That's the only thing I could see with that.

Isn't there a shaft that runs from the throttle body to the firewall? I may be wrong, but if that is the case it could have snapped or slipped.

Just brainstorming here.
