4th Generation Cruise Control Dead

A few days ago it was working, when I press the button the cruise light doesn't come on and it doesn't engage. What would cause the cruise control not to work if all the fuses are good? what should i check?
thanks
btw I have a 99 camry le i4

check the electrical connector - it sits very close to under the battery, and it might have popped out, or even corroded.

The module might have gone bad - but I'm not sure how one would test for that.

If the cruise control unit / Computer are the same and you find out that one are bad .. I have the cruise control unit and computer from a 3rd gen camry

I would check the connectors like reluctant said, Make sure your unit is getting power using a test light or multimeter, double check the grounds using a multimeter.

CHECK THIS PLUG FOR LOOSENESS OR CORROSION AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH MAY BE LOOSE AND NEED ADJUSTMENT.
