Not sure I understand your question, so I will paraphrase:
You bought a 99 Explorer in which the cruise control isn't working. The previous owner said he replaced the switches. He also added a separate horn button. You are asking if that added button was needed to complete the cruise control circuit.
You tried to follow the cruise control test procedure by pushing the OFF button and turning the power key. The CC light turned on, but after you released the OFF button and pressed the others, nothing happened.

Is my understanding correct?
Also, what is the buttons configuration: just cruise control, or also Temp, Fan, and Radio? (higher trim, like EB or Limited have those). And is the horn working? Is the added horn button on the steering wheel?

Check horn fuse

Has the airbag ever deployed? That takes out the horn and cruise control. The wiring for the cruise, horn and airbag are tied together. An intact airbag needs to be in place, even if it doesn't work, for the horn to work. The horn contacts are under the airbag, and you actually push the airbag down to honk the horn. No intact airbag, no horn.
