Cruise Control Cluster not working...

[5.0L V8]

So every single button on my steering wheel has stopped working. I cannot turn CC on or off. Is there a fuse in the panel that specifically feeds power to this steering wheel unit? If so, anyone know which one?

Thanks,
Evan


Also, my compass and thermometer LED unit quit working up above my rear view mirror (not at the same time).
Is there a fuse that relays power to that unit too?

This should fix the overhead console

For the steering wheel controls,

This is a 98 fuse diagram but it should be close

Could be a bad connection in the "clockspring connector" also.

Make sure you check the yellow fuse under the hood also...

I replaced the interior fuse panels #10 with a fresh 7.5amp fuse. It got my rear A/C and heater blower working. So there is now fuse to check for the overhead console? I couldn't find one on that list. I'd really rather not tear it apart.

The yellow under-hood was for the steering wheel controls... It's in the power distribution box.

Ok, so that one yellow fuse strictly controls the steering wheel controls? Can i buy those big block fuses at a autoparts store? Dirt, do you happen to have a part # for it?
Thanks alot man !

Horn, cruise... Not sure on a part number, it's just a 20 amp fuse, the larger one (not like the mini's on the side of the dash) shown below:
