    I took apart the dash console and replaced the time and alarm module
    which fixed the intermittent and wiper parking problem but after
    reassembly I tested all the controls and now the cruise doesn't work.
    Before I dig back in, I'm wondering if the time and alarm module has any
    cruise control functions associated with it.

    The green button lite went on but the indicator for the cruise in gauge
    cluster did not. Now the button doesn't light up either.

    Thanks!

    Help me out with the year and model of what we're working on here,
    Leonardo.

    Lots of things are possible. On some cars, most of the circuits run
    through the fuse box where the TACM is attached. On others, it's easy to
    swap the switch connectors when reassembling.

    If your headlamps, brake lamps, and overdrive switch work normally, then
    you've just verified the necessary fuses are okay. If not, then check the
    fuses in the interior fuse box (#3, #10, #16).

    More likely, you plugged the wrong connector into the back of the cruse
    switch. This is one of the cars where the cruise switch is in the center
    of the dash along with other switches. Check to see whether any of the
    others are working properly or seem to control something other than the
    item for which they're labeled. For example, does cycling the defogger
    switch turn the defogger on/off (vehicle must be running). On some
    vehicles, not all switches are present, and there's a connector attached
    to one of the blanks for the purpose of preventing it from rattling
    around. Unless you have reason to believe the problem isn't here, I'd
    recommend pulling the center dash panel to doublecheck the connectors.
    Typically, there's a sticker on the switch that indicates the color of the
    connector that is to be plugged into it.
