Default Cruise Control just stopped working??

So I am coming back from Vegas I used the CC to speed up and all of a sudden it stopped working. I have used my cruise for a couple months now with now issues. I went to check the fuse and there is not one there. Where should I check to fix this.

It's under the dash through the glove box. I soldered mine and it still doesn't work. I tested the switch with my voltmeter and it works fine. I think I might need a new vacuum pump

Those are pretty much the things that can go wrong... unless one of the vacuum lines came off your actuator.

Where is the actuator?? If you could take a pic that would be awesome.

Must be solar flares or some *****. Same exact thing happened to me today.

Worked on the way to soccer, did not work coming home (turned it off for a while, back on, nothing). Let it sit in the garage a few hours, worked just fine heading to the grocery store and back.

Anybody else ever have this happen and had a failure we can expect?

Is your glove box packed full of stuff?? I ask because after I cleaned out my glove box it started working. Not completely clean but not packed. I say this because maybe its a heat issue.
