Default AU1 cruise control stopped working

Hi, I have a 99 AU series 1 Fairmont, my cruise control will not turn on when I twist the stalk control, indicator does not light up on the dash

Checked all globes, fuses and switches, all ok

Any ideas?

I was going to say clock spring but if it's not even activating from the stalk switch then maybe that's what you need to check out next. Pull out the stalk mechanism and check the contacts. Also I'd be rechecking the fuses and swapping out the suspect one with a new one anyway as I've had more than one fuse fail that looked perfectly ok to the eye.

You've checked your brake lights are working?
