I had that exact problem with my 2001 XLT, just reconnect the throttle cable that comes off of the cruise control box and you should be good to go.
While on the topic, my cruise isn't working, but its not becuase of the throttle body cable, it simply will not power on at all. Pressing the on button doesn't even cause the light to come on. I tried looking in the fuse descriptions in the owner guide to check for a blown fuse, but I couldn't find it. Is there a fuse for the cruise control?
