Question Multiple electrical malfunctions on same circuit (295)!

I have a 2002 F150 Lariat FX4 Super Crew with an electrical conundrum!!! First, almost two months ago, my cruise control stopped working, then three weeks later, my overdrive switch stopped working, now my daytime running lights, and fog lights don't work either! All of these components either are directly powered by fuse F2.5 (which HAS continuity) and circuit 295 OR have controls or related sub components powered by them! I suffer from debilitating back pain I need help narrowing down the possibilities needed to be tested

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Sbnewton

DRL and Fogs look at fuse 9 in the engine bay. See page 211 of owner manual. There are other fuses and relays associated.
Fuse 5 in the cab is associated with DRL, speed control and other items.
Fuse 29 in cab for OD control.
Cruise control is powered through the master cylinder pressure switch.
Is the power at the switch, is the switch open?
Do CC diagnostics from the steering wheel and watch for flash code on CEL lamp.
This is about as specific as I can get to help.
As you can see the circuits are all over the place unless there is harness damage at some common area..
Some one has to do the rest of the trouble shooting to solve for the issues.
Good luck.

Maybe he's in Canada. All vehicles have DRL there.

I believe it is obvious these problems are beyond U and U need expert, hands on, qualified help. Maybe an auto salvage, or body, type shop. These guys can pull and match parts until they have U back 100% effectively and cost wise. Putting in new parts may be expensive on this scale of problems. U may be looking a corrosion situation and a lot of blue green in several areas, especially in the cab. water leaks from areas U haven't noticed yet and ever more failures of circuits.
