not cruising
I have a 90 coupe with 104 k miles. My cruise is not operational. This has not been a problem as I do not get to take long road trips, but would be nice to have all systems fuctioning. Where should I start? I have checked fuses. All checked out fine and replaced defective fuses. Also, should there be a "door ajar" sound? I don't have it. Though I did hear it on a very cold morning, also resulting in no climate control. Later that day I started the car and had temp control but no door ajar alarm.......weird.

I don't know if it would be this simple, but when I looked into mine (87), I found the ball chain, covered by the rubber boot had come apart. Reconnecting it gave my left foot much appreciated rest.

Start by checking the obvious mechanical links, then go to vacuum and the brake switch. There is detailed cruize troubleshooting in the FSM electrical section.

I got a buddy who was a service manager a Chevy dealer to sell me one for my '87.
If you can't get the SM to go for it, try the dealer's GM - with sales in the tank, they might go for it...
