Does the air bag indicator light comes on when ignition is turned on?

There are a few warning chimes present and if any comes on, it means a fault has been detected and you need to have it checked.

No, the cruise control would not cause it but a blown fuse somewhere might.

Have all the fuses checked.

Since fuses are good, you need to start checking for power supply.

Disconnect the cruise control switch and used a test lamp to check for presence of battery voltage at one of the terminals with ignition switch turned on.

I will try to get the wiring diagrams later as I will be away from my pc till much later.

Attached are schematics for the cruise control.

Try testing the cruise control switch continuity first.
