No cruise control.
My 85's cruise control has quit working. The fuse is okay but when I pull the connector off the unit under the hood I have no "hot" connections. I tried with the key on and the cruise switch on but no power at any terminal. I also tested each terminal and pushed the set button, still no power. I know the digital dash is involved here and for a while I did have a flickering dash but it is not doing that anymore. The dash stays on fine. Could it be ground at the dash terminals? I just got this dash from a rebuilder 3 years ago so I hope I don't have to buy another one. Any ideas?

AGENT 86, thanks I have my manual for the 85 but I haven't gotten into the tracing part of this yet I was hoping maybe I could go to something specific. Electrical diagrams are NOT my friend. 
torkman15, thanks to you also, I wish I had known this before I started tearing into the dash this afternoon. I'll hook the battery back up, hit the reset button and see if I have power first thing tomorrow.
Any more ideas?
