I had the same condition Ralph did on my '96 5.9. I did not replace
the line though. It broke off at the connector right under the battery
tray. I just cut and removed the bad section, stuck it back in and
taped it real tight with electrical tape. It's been perfect ever
since. My symtoms were a bit different than yours though. Sometimes
it would engage but it would never hold the correct speed as it would
vary within about a 20 mph range. Usually it would not engage though.
I never had the light go out on me though.
