W124 cruise control issue

Today when coming home from some thrifting (hitting the city thrift shops) my cruise turned on max. I couldn't turn it off by hitting the brakes. So I pulled off the road. When I shifted into Park the engine went to a high RPM. I turned it off before it went too high. Restarted right away - RPMs went high, so I turned it off again. Waited 5 minutes (to let the vacuum subside) and restarted. It started fine and the cruise was finally off.



Thoughts on what to check? Or should I just shell out and replace all the vacuum hoses under the hood? ;-)
