I couldnt get an answer on the Dodge Forum Boards as I expected, so thought Id give you gents a crack at this.
NEWBIE HERE, excuse my ignorance. Okay, I just acquired this 99 Dakota SLT 3.9 V6 with 4 Wheel ABS. The cruise didnt work but the Brake light was on until I jacked with the parking brake pedal lifting it so the Brake light went out THEN THE CRUISE WORKED FINE. Today the cruise stopped working and I noticed the Tach wasnt working either, but I cant recall if it was working when the cruise was also working (just got the truck remember). I suspect the tach not working is also causing the cruise to not work but I just dont know. The horn (clock spring okay) and turn signals and lights and gauges are working its just the Tach and Cruise that arent other then I got gas today but when I restarted the truck the gauge showed empty until I shut the truck off and restarted it at which time the gauge correctly showed full and cruise worked then at least, but im unsure if the tach was working then or not??? But its NOT now grrrrrrrrrrr FWIW THE "CRUISE" LIGHT IN THE DASH DOES COME ON WHEN CRUISE ON/OFF IS SWITCHED ON
FINALLY, QUESTIONS
Does tach not working make cruise not work?? Any tips on fixing the tach other then take it to my mechanic with his Snap On Diagnostics???
EXTRA BONUS QUESTION LOL
It has a Tekonsha Voyager Electric Brake Controller that has a good black hot wire to it,,,,,,,,a good white ground,,,,,,and a good signal on red when brake pedal is depressed buttttttttttt when I press the brake pedal or depress the manual slider switch on controller the little white light on the Tekonsha dont come one SHOULD IT??? Maybe I just need to hook my electric brake equipped trailer to it n see if it works and/or the little light comes on, maybe it needs to see the trailer brake circuit to work???
Dern Dodge grrrrrrrr lol Im a Chevy man but Dakota is the ONLY 4X4 rated to tow with all 4 down when I head to Florida with my Golf Cart in the bed.

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
