My '88 cruise control requires vacuum pressure. I don't know if the '94 has the same setup, but if it does, try looking for any kinks or breaks in the vac hoses leading up to the cruise control unit.

Iirc in mid 92 when they went to the serp belt setup they also went to electric cruise, they rarely give trouble. I would replace the brake switch first. Double check your fuses with a test light on each side, maybe the cruise isn't getting any key on power?
