Okay, the first thing we should do is check the #2 fuse in the fuse panel at the center of the dash and the fuse # 28 in the fuse panel under the hood. here is a guide to help and I have included the fuse location in the images below.

Hi Ken L! I just checked the 2 fuses, and they are okay (no burn fuses). Do you have another idea that I can try? If I am in a parking an I put on the Cruise control, will I see the light on in my dash? Because the light of cruise control, do not get on. Thanks' for helping!

If the light is not coming on and the fuses are good, there is a circuit error. A common place for the failure is the clock spring (spiral wire) behind the steering wheel. Here is the cruise control wiring diagrams and a guide to help test through the wire and how to replace the clock spring if it tests bad.
