First i checked all of the fuses under the dash all fine now this is where i thing the problem is the fuse box under the hood it dosnt have a cover for it, i dont have the manual so i dont know what to check under here either i would like to get the cig lighter to work for my cell phone i need the water washer i live in MN lots of salt during the winter and i want my crusie now on my crusie im sure its electrical becasue when i push the on button on the sterring wheel it dosnt come on and this quit working when i got stuck in some snow so im thinking something might have gotten wet any suggestion where i should start i have no ideal with the fuse box under the hood about the fuse represent not marked i assuming they are on the cover. any help would be appricated

Is the airbag light on by chance?
Sounds to me that the clockspring is faulty thus your cruise control and horn do not work.

There should be a recall on the clockspring, call your local dealer to check it out.

yes the air bag light has been on every since ive had it, would this also fix the lighter and washer motor controls thanks for the quick repley

The clockspring is a ribbon wire that is coiled up inside the steering column. Once you remove the airbag module and the steering wheel, it is usually the very next component stacked in the column. It delivers current to all of the systems mentioned above, airbag, cruise control and horn. When it fails (and they do a lot) the wire breaks leaving the circuit open and inoperative. This will cause the airbag light to come on and shut down the system. As long as that light is on, the airbags will NOT deploy, even in an accident.
This was a factory recall and many customers are unaware of that. Contact your local dealer and they will accommodate the replacement for you.

Just wanted to add, (I have a thread on my 1999 voyager failing emission tests), that I DID look the recall up and MY dealer (smyrna, ga) was hem-haw-ing around with NOT doing this, and quoting from a document saying cars over 70,000 would not qualify !), I got somewhat loud with the service guy (a kid under 30) and he gave in and said they would replace it...AND also, I took my car in a week earlier and they did not bother to see if the car had any recalls, a co-worker alerted me of it !!!
