I paid a shop to do an auto to manual swap. I had an aftermarket shifter but decided to go back to a stock style. While removing the shifter some of wires were disconnected due to them not being crimped properly. At first the car would start but I was able to find the proper wire to have the car turn over and drive. Only issue now is the lack of cruise control. I'm trying to figure out why it will not engage, and which wires I need to connect to get it working again.

Yep, if the wiring is disconnected it will need to be repaired before the system will operate once again. I don't know which wire needs to be repaired but here are the cruise control wiring diagrams, so you can see how the system works and which wires to fix. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
