Have you checked for fault codes with the key dance and flashing CEL light?
A bad Speed Sensor will NOT allow the CC to work and will store a code in the chrysler PCM system. Even if your Speedo is working fine, the sensor can be bad and NOT let the CC work.
Check the fuses, might have one blown.
If your heat/ac/vent doors open and close, especially with the engine off, then your vacuum reservoir should be good, as well as the lines up to the heat/ac system at least. You said you checked the lines to the CC, so unless you missed something, check the vent/ac/heat doors open/close with the engine off ought to rule vacuum out.
