Default Cruise control points of failure

I noticed a lot of info about the vacuum line for the cruise control.

when taking the kick panel down, i noticed the plastic joint to the accelerator wasn't even connected. It seemed to not want to stay connected with the vacuum bag moving around a lot either.

I replaced the entire vacuum line, through the fireshield and connected the joint to the pedal, still no cruise control.

Either the pump, or the wires are not working because fuses are all check.

I saw tech had posted some pics of how the pedal attaches to the vacuum bag, but they wont show up.

hopefully they can be found again, as i hoping this is the problem.
or if someone can post pics of how the cruise control looks when properly connected.
Just remove the three 3 screws on the kick panel and it slides out, there's everything you need to see

Yes, and those pics are pretty good. But i'm certain my issue is inside the car. Like I'm not attaching the the plastic connector to the pedal right, or it is broken...

But I still have no boost on the gauge so i will have to try replacing the hose all the way to the back of the instrument cluster, doesn't seem easy I avoided it.

If those components checkout, then it's like electrical nightmare...
