'97 850 Cruise Control Fault 850 1997

Recently I had an alternator failure in our '97 855. I got the "every light in the dashboard either lit or glowing", intermittently, for about 15 miles on a trip home and parked the car. Fortunately it didn't strand us. I removed the alternator and had it rebuilt. The car was fine for two days and then I got a check engine light with a code indicating that the voltage regulator was bad. Car was running fine, all functions normal, but when I opened the hood it seemed to smell like insulation, and the positive battery cable was very hot. Shop that did the rebuild confirmed that the new regulator/brush pack was bad. I replaced it. Now the cruise control doesn't work! Every other function is fine. Pump is working. I have not taken the dash apart to check pedal switches and all that. Seems very odd that the cruise would die after the over-voltage situation. Before I start tearing things apart, has anyone experienced anything similar? I'm hoping I didn't fry something in the dash or the ECU. Thanks, Dave
