Check the brake and or clutch pedal, there should be a plastic plug that makes contact with the CC kill switch, these plugs wear out and or fall off, when they don't contact the switch, the CC thinks you have either the brake or the clutch depressed, also see if the brake lights are on..
Hope this helps you....

By far, the most common thing that goes south with the Maxima ASCD (Automatic Speed Control Device) is rotted hoses to the servo and the various solenoids.
If you get all the lights to light when you press the Set button . . .
. . . then look hard at the hoses.
If you can get the "On" light to light, but not the "Cruise", you may have a switch issue, as DslSmoke suggested, or the actual stalk switch. But my money is on the hoses.
[If you're interested in how to get that switch cluster above to light up again, when the CC works but the lights don't, see the Cruise Control Switch thread. There's also a Cruise Control (ASCD) thread where (surprise!) the hoses are mentioned a couple of times.]
