Answer
Hi
The cruise is PROBABALLY the switch located in the steering wheel.
The Fuel level is PROBABALLY the fuel level sensor, located inside the fuel tank.
The Cruise can be easily diagnosed with access to a Scan tool, and just watch the cruise data, and see if switch turns on and off.
It IS a common problem though.
The level sensor is also fairly common. If unplugged it should go full empty. If gerounded it should go full full.
I Hopoe this helps.
Good Luck
