Don't quote me on this, but I think there is a switch located under the dash that runs along side of the brake actuator rod coming from the pedal assembly. I think they are under $20.

it blows the fuse on start up. took the steering wheel part to get to the cruise and didn't have any luck getting it out. not sure how it comes out didn't want to brake it.

went out just now found the VMC and sure enough under it was a bad wire. the plow valve plate was rubbing on it. put new wire on it new fuse in it and it started up and did not blow a fuse.
