When I press the on button for cruise control the indicator does not light on the dash, furthermore when I try to set my cruise control nothing happens.

Yep, this is common when the clock spring (spiral wire) goes out, but we should check the fuses first. This guide will help:

Here are the four fuses that run the system and their locations, if the fuses are good chances are the clock spring is no good, here is how to change it out in case you need it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
