trace teh wire going to teh digital heat controls if you are behind teh dash, maybe you will find that the circuits are from teh same source. maybe your source feed is dead. read the schematics and see if theres more than one wire that should have voltage, and test each wire to see if they reflect this voltage. if not, then trace the circuit backwards towards the fuse box, checking the wire along the way by probing with a test light poked through he insulation at various point. . a vague answer to a vague question.... check your fuses first, and also note, that if you have a check engine light, it might have disabled your speed control, but not your heater. the fact that the heater is near the speed control, if it is, says it might just be the source voltage is dead as mentioned above.

wolfdogg: Poke wires all over the place - NOT. Check continuity first. For cruise the brake light switch is involved and if it thinks brakes are applied it will shut off or won't engage, T

either he said it was hot, or wasnt sure, i was simply trying to help. dont drive me away before im able to contribute. verifying that a supply voltage exists verifies that continuity exists in the first place.

i think you are looking into my statement too hard, if you check the supply voltage at the "cruise control input", then that verifies continuity. dont be anal. i didnt specifically say check the supply voltage at the supply, that would be almost equivalent to putting a meter on the battery. what good will that do? verify the battery is working? lol. not that you were insinuating on the battery, just an example. im just trying to help
