I've had the front brake switch and the roll off switch keep the cruise from engaging. But the amber indicator has always been on.
The OP doesn't have the amber light yet, so he's apparently not getting power to the cc module.
On the '07 I added cruise and it worked right away but was told on '08 and up dealer had to turn it on in the ECM. I did have a problem with the rear brake switch but still showed amber on the dash.
I have the same issue with my 2007 Ultra. Had my handlebars bushings replaced to the poly bushings and aftermarket clamps. Then I notice the cruise control was not working after I got it back. Took it back to HD dealer Mech. had it for 3 days. They finally determined it was the Idle cable, which had to ordered from Milwaukee.
Happened something similar. It appeared that the front brake switch was defective and it was turning the brake light on. If this is happening the Cruise control disengage. So check the brake switches. Good luck!
