Don't know, but I'd look at all the fuses to see if one is open - A/C CRUISE maybe?

+1 fuses would be a good start, also make sure the cruise control is actually on (not calling you stupid or anything) i know thats got me a few times when i hit the selector button an don't notice it.

Chances are it's just the kill switch under the clutch pedal. It's a push pin looking switch that contacts the shaft of the clutch pedal. If the clutch pedal is beginning to sag or the return spring is broken, the pedal shaft will push in the kill switch. The distance between the switch and the shaft can be adjusted by screwing the switch in further. It's got a threaded barrel on it.

I KNOW this is why my cruise doesn't work. Something that was f'd up when I got my LS7 clutch installed a couple years ago. I'll look into it on my car at some point. I figured my cruise was just "unplugged" while they were digging around under the wheel.

Thanks for the tip!
