Default Fuse Layout

Does anyone have a copy of the fuse layout?

or any info on what the problem could be with my Cruze control, it turns on when selected but will not activate, the 3 buttons on the steering wheel do not seem to work :

Regards
Andrew

I would say the cruise control uses current sensing to identify when the brake pedal is depressed. Normal 12V brake bulbs, say 20W will draw 1.6A at 12V each. LED's draw only mW so they can't be detected by the BEM. Hope I'm right here!

yeah sounds right, so bassically if you knew where to look, changing a resistor would eliminate this problem?
