Sometimes the plastic cog on the side of the throttle body (TB) breaks. This cog is "pulled" by the cruise control accuator's cable.
To check, simply look on the side of the TB and check to see of the cable end has broken free. (The mechanisim is much like the brake cable on a bike)

    I am facing a problem with cruise control of my Mercury Mountaineer 2002. It was working OK when I parked my Car last night. In the day when I tried to enable cruise control, its light indication appeared on dash board but cruise control did not enable. My car speed continuously getting down. I applied brakes lighting indication disappeared i-e, light indication was responding but cruise control did not enable. I tried it 3 to 4 times but same results.

How do you activate the cruise control on a Mercedes ML 270 cdi.
If you know how to set your speed limiter. To set your cruise control, press the stalk in (to the right). The orange light on your dash should go out and you're ready to set your cruise control. You can start the cruise control by either moving the cruise control stalk up or down. Once you start the cruise control you can move the stalk up or down to increase or decrease your cruise speed. You can move it toward you to shut off the cruise control. You can press it in again to go back to the speed limiter. I hope this helps.

How to fix cruise control
Cruise controls can cease to engage if the clutch or brake light cruise switch are out of adjustment. If this happens, try placing you foot under the clutch pedal (if equipped) and lift up on it (toward you) and hold it while engaging the cruise. If it now works, it will likely cut out when you remove your foot from under the pedal. Check the brake pedal in an identical fashion. Adjusting the switch at the pedals can often solve he problem. Some vehicles (Honda, Acura, Ford, to name a few) have a plastic insert that mounts in the pedal arm which presses against the switch. These can become brittle and fracture into pieces. My Acura has little pieces of blue plastic on the floorboard around the brake pedal one afternoon and I noticed the cruise didn't work. It was the pieces of the insert that had come to pieces preventing the cruise from coming on. I replaced the insert and no more problem with the cruise.

It sounds like you have a serious electrical problem in your steering column. It is probably a bad switch for he cruise control or set of speed, but could also just be a bare wire touching the metal steering column.

The stalling COULD be that your cruise control is partially engaged.

Start by checking your fuses. You just may have a blown one with that many lights out.

"Cruise" on a 5-speed '00 Hyundai Elantra
I have this same car. The place you set speed control is on the windshield wiper switch on the right side of the steering column. The button with the indicator light has to be pushed in order to use the cruise control but just because the indicator light is on, it does not mean the cruise is on. Hope this helps a little. If you need more info and someone else doesn't answer more eloquently.. I'll check back and try to give you more info. :-)
