That will be tough to diagnose since you can't duplicate the problem in a shop.
I would hook up a meter to the components and watch to see what looses power when the problem occurs.
I assume the check engine light is not on, right ?

SOURCE: 2001 S-10, Blowing "ECM Batt" fuse after running for about 30 min

that fuse feeds power to fuel pump relay circuit that feeds pump could be defective pump,or damaged circuit wires that shorts out! and not a good idea to put higher fuse in circuit could cause more damage to circuit! but i know when your stuck, u do what it takes,so inspect circuit related to fuse,

SOURCE: Cruise control stopped working

if the fuses are ok then i would say that there is a distruption between the cruise module vehicle speed sensor and the computer(ECM). unfortunately this is something only a qualified tech with diagnostic equipment can correct. i'm sure there are stored fault codes that the tech needs to check and reset. it's been my experience that oftyen times when this problem happens it has to do with the transmission control module which dictates how the engine and the transmission sync up to shift properly and your speed is measured through the transmission circuit thus the cruise control circuit is slaved to that.anymore questions feel free to contact me . just click my user tab on this site

SOURCE: Cruise control on 98 chevy venture stops working

The Venture uses an electronic Cruise Control and doesnt require vacume. I would suspect the cruise module under the hood, or the lever on the steering colum to be bad.

Testimonial: "You're right on the no vacuum part. I kind of suspected the unit under the hood myself, but was hoping there might be a cheaper fix. :-) Thanks 4 info"

How to Drive a Toyota Prius?

Like any other car.

You have to make sure the "key" is in your pocket or within range of the "key sensor," and push the start button, lower right of the wheel. Then you just put it in drive, and drive like a normal car. If you have the "ECO" setting, you can push the button and the internal combustion engine will be less aggressive, which saves gas. If you're in traffic and say, want to be able to pull away from a stop or turn left in heavy traffic, just pop it out and the combustion engine will react more aggressively to get you through the intersection when you give it gas.
Other than that, it's just a regular car. They're great; you can cruise on the interstate at 75mph+ all day long and get around 50mpg. The only thing to keep in mind when pushing it around at speed somewhat aggressively on curves, is that the tires have less contact surface that actually meets the road. In other words, they're skinny. Less contact surface touching the road means less resistance, which increases mpg. Other than that, it's just a car.

Make sure your system is charged properly. Also make sure your cooling system is properly clean and filled up to max levels. Sometimes low freon or old cooling system fluid will cause a delay in the A/C to work. Also chech to see if there is any black powder around your A/C clutch, if so, this is a sign that the system is about to go out of service. You can get a great deal on the part from Amazon.

Cruise control light will not come on after truck warms up 2004 dodge ram pick-up Cruise works ok when first using it , after driving to my destination, shutting off the truck. 15 min later driving again,...

After the light goes out does it come back on while driving down the road?
If it does this sounds as if you may have a heat sensitive problem at the cruise motor. this has a sensoe that turns the light on when it is engaged. when you turn it off and sits a while does the heat under the hood goes higher expanding the circuts an open circut. You may have to replace the board in the motor.

Car Motor Shuts Down in Hot Weather only

Sounds like fuel vapourisation creating an air lock in the fuel lines. Might be worth checking for damage on any heat shields protecting the fuel lines.

2003 Bonneville SSEI

I am having the same problem and also occasionally the cruise just shuts off when I am driving on dry, straight roads. Code C1288 was cleared, but it continues to happen. I was told that the electric brake module needs to be reprogrammed and that it will cost about $80.00. They are still looking into it.
