Nissan experts need your help, cruise control on 2001 maxima won't work after....?

ok i had to replace my front wheel hubs so when i took them off i had to replace the ABS speed sensors too coz they cracked when I tried to take them off. so my car ran w/o front abs sensors for about 6mo's. but the funny thing is i tested the cruise control w/o the abs sensors the day before i bought he new abs sensors and installed them and funny thing it worked i thought it won't w/o the sensors.

well i replaced the abs sensors both OEM and the abs works the lights cleared out after installing them. but now the cruise control won't work. when i press the cruise control on/off switch the green "Cruise" light comes up on the dash but when i hit the accel or "coast set" button nothing happens. so any idea what is wrong with it?
thanks in advance
