I notice in your signature a note about cruise control. Got any advice for one that seems completely dead (stalk doesn't seem to do anything when pushed in any direction)?

This might help:

The pawl is engaged when you put the lever in to P. It locks into a notch on the parking gear (my term, not sure what actually is) The parking gear also has a worm gear on it that drives the speedometer cable (124,201,123).

I have some diagnostics you can run though, most of the time its the cruise control amplifier:
