Cruise control won't turn on - thoughts?

Ever since I've had my car, the cruise control has not worked - the car IS equipped with cruise, it has the stalk for it, but when I press the on/off button the green light on the dash does not light up.

Obviously, I suspect the stalk's on/off switch, but there's other stuff in there. Does anyone know if I can get at the wiring without having to remove the steering wheel etc? Is it accessible from above with the instrument cluster removed? If I have to take the steering wheel off, I'm just going to swap in the 4-stalk unit with OBC while I'm at it...

Any suggestions are appreciated :)

I managed to track down the wiring diagram for a 98 Boxster - would anyone happen to have a higher res version of this diagram, perhaps for an '01 S?

Did you check the fuse? You have a PM.

I haven't seen a fuse diagram that mentions cruise control, is there a specific fuse I should check?

Fuse B7

The fuse is also for your brake lights.

When you swapped your tail lights for LED's it could be that, I had the same " problem" when i equipped my car with a 3rd led brake light.
