cruze control gone

boys and gtstang -
what causes cruise control to fail besides a blown fuse? as you can guess mine recently went out of comission, although i'm not all that interested in getting it fixed.
what is the word?

what year car, what motor, stick or auto?

On mine there's a cruise control motor right on the other side of the firewall in the driver's side. That could be gone. Also there's a cable that actually pulls down the accelerator, could this have snapped?

89 5.0 lx convertible 5speed.

honestly it could be anything, i've already looked into the problem. don't reply to this thread.

does it go into cruise control but really you have to press the brake really hard to get it to pop out of cruise control if thats the case i accdently riped the wire above my brake that connects to a small black box and when i solderd it back on my cruise control was fine again hehe.
