Question 90' Accord Cruise Control Issue

Hey guys! I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot an issue I'm having with my cruise control not engaging. I press the cruise control button on the dash(it lights up), I press the set button and the cruise control light on the gauge cluster lights up and stays lit, let go of the pedal and nothing happens...doesn't maintain speed or anything. I tried pressing the Accel button and nothing happened either. Here's what I've done so far to troubleshoot the problem: I've replaced the solenoid, checked for vacuum pressure(it's good), the brake light switch(works fine), checked cable tension(fine), checked all the fuses(good). Is there any other troubleshooting I could do to diagnose the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!

Nice Cb7, have you tried the relay, or cruise control switch and set/accel switch.

good most likely it was what I was afraid of a bad wire harness. all it takes is 1 short to run a lot of things. just like all the other cars. I say that cos mine use to have a short and believe it or not it was messing with transmission, electrical part of the transmission of course. I'm asking buddy of mine I get back to you does electrical for cars.

Just me but if it "sets" but won't hold (both lights come on)....I'd be checking the vac canister and hoses.
