How do you reset the cruise control on a 1998 Ford Windstar Minivan?

The 1998 Ford Windstar's cruise control doesn't have a single "reset" button. Instead, it's deactivated in a few ways:

* Pressing the brake pedal: This is the most common and immediate way to disengage the cruise control.

* Pressing the cancel button: There should be a button clearly labeled "CANCEL" or with a similar symbol (often a square with a diagonal line through it). Pressing this will turn off the cruise control.

* Turning off the ignition: Switching the ignition to the "off" position will also deactivate cruise control.

* Pressing the accelerator pedal: Rapid or significant acceleration will also disengage the cruise control.

There's no dedicated "reset" function because the system doesn't store any settings beyond being currently active or inactive. If you're having trouble *engaging* cruise control, that's a different issue, potentially related to a malfunctioning system.
