i've got a 2001 taurus and am having the same problem with heat and cruise control. I'm not car savy, but have read on here in multiple posts saying to back flush the heater core a few times and it should help. as for the cruise control i have no idea. i checked and replaced all my fuses but thats about the extent of my knowledge lol also on the heater core check your blend door if it's broken or stuck it won't allow for heat. on mine its on the passenger side close to the floor to the left of the heater core. It's been said you have to tear apart the entire dash to get the heater core but but i've looked at mine and i think with some finagling i can get it out just by removing the panel under the glove compartement. it will be uncomfortable but i think i can get it i'll post again when i get off my lazy butt and do it
