Default Im stupid cruise doesnt work

The title says it all! I did the drill mod on my car last week, works pretty good btw but I was a little disappointed when I got on the Highway and realized that my cruise doesnt work now. I checked the fuses and they seem to be in working order. Could I have inadvertantly pulled something out when I was moving the wiring harness out of the way of the master cylinder or under the dash? The repair manual has been very unhelpful. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
thanks in advance.

Is your SES light on? Mine came on one time turns out that its my clutch circuit switch. Around that time i realized my cruise control doesn't work either. The cruise control circuit i believe runs through the clutch circuit switch. Check that out first.

Mine stopped working because the safety switch under the dash by the clutch pedal was broke. Yours could be a wire going to it or it is out of adjustment. If you tap the clutch just like the brakes the cruise control will disengage.
