Make sure the AC is charged too. Usually theres a pressure switch that wont let it kick on unless its charged.

no rats nest, the ac is not charged very well, that would explain the ac problem.
the cruse worked fine in my 85 with no rats nest, but this 84 does not want to work. fuses are ok

I'd check to see if there is power to your switch. I'm not positive what all is with the cruise system since neither of my 1st Gens have had them

EDIT: I know there is a vacuum actuator that needs to be hooked up but I don't know where exactly it get's it's vacuum source
