I have a 98 ram 1500 st, when i turn the ignition on a cruise control light comes on, but i dont have any controls, does this mean that my truck has cruise, but maybe somebody before me changed out the steering wheel/colum, or is there supposed to be a cruise light but no cruise control?

you probably have vacumn hose / reservoir issues. check the vacumn hoses on the passenger side ofthe manifold, the reservior under the battery, and all check valves

the thing is, i dont have any controls at all meaning there are no buttons in my cab, either on the signal or the steering wheel, but the cruise control light comes on at ignition, does this mean that my ram is wired for cruise but it wasnt installed or do all the different models have the light in the dash, whether it has cruise or not...thanks for the replies

do you have a cruise control servo under the hood? if not then no you do not have cruise control. the light was just most likely there already. if newer trucks are similar to the older trucks the truck is most likely wired for cruise control but you would need to get all the parts.

I think all were wired for cruise, except maybe a total stripper made for the County Road Commission. Do the horns work? The clocksping is a very common problem. Do your homework first before replacing it, but the symptoms match.
