one reason could be the BOO switch (brake on/off). Check that. if the computer is getting a signal from the switch, no cruise.

i heard the TPS (throttle postion sensor) can be the culprit to cruise control not working. Im having the same problem, but i dont care for cruise control

If both problems are related... -> No electrical people here because its probably a vacuum problem. Both the Cruise and AC/Heat/Vent duct selectors require a vacuum supply. Maybe you have a loose connector.

Has anyone done any work under the hood lately?

there is quite a bit that could be the culprit. if 6 speed brake and clutch both have a switch that might just be out of adjustment or bad. mine went bad on the clutch. Its a pretty cheap setup. Im pretty sure that there is a computer reader for cruise control that will read exactly what the problem is.... good shop should have one.
