The cruse control on my Escape quit working. The dash light showes it engaged but it is not or does not hold the set speed. What's the problem?

Out under the hood you will see where speedo cable comes out of firewall and goes into controller check ground and wires at controller if ok check vaccum lines leaving from there to blub {can] for leaks also make sure wire hasn't come off at brake switch inside vehicle
