Default cruise control inop...

So I knew it when I bought it...

But my cruise control is inop... I hit the ON/OFF button and the dash indicator lights up... However I can't set it...

I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience... Just looking for somewhere to start...

I check fuses and all look good... which make since cause the dash indicator comes on... relay? Tach issues (as I'm sure it knows engine RPM)???

The button only sets the cruise control, you must push the lever down to engage the speed.

Sorry I didn't explain that...

Pressing down does nothing... neither does pressing up for accelerating as it should...

The lever only works to turn on the cruise... but I can't set the speed...

I'm thinking there has to be a relay or something that could be bad... or possibly a loose wire?

There's a "can" on the passenger side - there's a small vacuum hose underneath - if that hose is off, no cruise.
I know, 'cause I dislodged it when I put in strut bar.
