    Sometimes the guages tick back and forth, and the cruise and jakes work intermittently. I've checked the fuse box and don't see anything. Could it be a grounding issue? Where would all the grounds be? I really appreciate the help. I'm heading east to some hills and would like working jakes.

    What year? If just Jake’s and cruise I’d say clutch switch! But gauges it’s between your key power and selenode behind left dash cover! Does your heater blower quit also!

    2001. The heater blower has been working fine.

    For internet searches.

    Faulty cruise switch. I was able to remove the dash and get the cruise to work for high idling. If I jiggled the Jake on/off harness it cut out. But it was a bad cruise switch.
