Does anyone know if there is a common fuse or relay with the 4wd. switch and the cruise control? Last weekend I found out that I had lost 4wd. on my truck (2001 diesel crewcab) indicator lights are not working on the selector switch for 2, 4hi or 4low. On the way home I realized that I had lost cruise control as well. I have tried checking all of the common fuses I can find, under the dash and under the hood, but they all check OK. Anyone else have similar problems?

4wd works again, had to replace the actuator motor on the t-case. Now I have to try to get the cruise working. What is the cruise recall for? Does it make the cruise work better, or is the cruise control quitting on some trucks?

The recall is an inspection of the cruise control switch on the master cylinder and a fused jumper harness. If you send me the vin number i can check if you have any open recalls.

I'm at step 40 in the troubleshooting sequence, checking plate A, B, C & D states..
I came in to eat dinner, then back out to the barn...

So the recall is just an update to the circuit that cancels the cruise when you apply the brakes? Seems to me we had the same recall on a '93 half ton that we had a few years ago.
