This is a tricky item and relies on various inputs to do its job.
From the Shop Manual,


Control of the speed control system is accomplished by a
speed control switch (1) which is located just above the multifunction
switch (2). The speed control system also uses other
components of the vehicle to accomplish its tasks. The five
other major components used are as follows; The PCM, Accelerator
Pedal Position Sensor, Kickdown Simulator Switch,
Throttle Body and the Clutch Pedal Position Switch (Manual
Transmission). The speed control system is designed to operate



at speeds above 25 m.p.h. (40 km/h).
Any fault in one of these and there is trouble. Read the manual and see if you can do any of the tests.
I would look at the brake switch and the clutch pedal switch if you have a manual tranny first.
If your brake lights are on all the time you have your answer.
