I have a 1997 F150 4wd 4.6liter. I pulled a trailer with it and the ABS
light started flashing. Upon further inspection my brake lights have
gone out and my cruise no longer works also. I have pulled all the
fuses I could find and none are blown. Anyone have tips on what this
could be.

And as an added bonus he'll probably fix his ABS and speed control at the
same time.

check the wires at the brake switch. my guess is that one of them cooked
or broke very near the switch. -its on the brake pedal bracket- It seems
ford used a wire size that is oh so very close to being too small and
your trailer lights probably pushed it over the edge. if it does need to
be repaired a good solder joint would be the best bet.
