Check your fuses and then look at your wiring to make sure everything is connected.

Brake light switces fail and cause cruise control problems alot - also the wires come thru from the wheel to the column in the clockspring - these wires break often and one other common cruise problem is a vacuum leak in the plastic tube under the battery tray that goes to the vacuum cannister
