Okay, the first thing we should do is check the #2 fuse in the fuse panel at the center of the dash and the fuse # 28 in the fuse panel under the hood. here is a guide to help and I have included the fuse location in the images below.

If the light is not coming on and the fuses are good, there is a circuit error. A common place for the failure is the clock spring (spiral wire) behind the steering wheel. Here is the cruise control wiring diagrams and a guide to help test through the wire and how to replace the clock spring if it tests bad.
