Cudos to Rhetor, he is spot on with the tiny foam between the contacts breaking down and causing a short between the two male leads on the cable. I was fortunate enough to compare a good switch with mine using a multimeter and sure enough my leads were shorted due to the foam being deteriorated. Instead of replacing it with foam i cut off a small piece of a tire plug & rolled it up like we have all done with a buger and pushed it between the male contacts of the switch. The tire plug will never break down & it is sticky which should stay in place for a very long time. There is no more continuity between the leads now i have cruise! Thanks to all who have contributed to this topic & especially Rhetor for being spot on!
I had not been on for a while. Just checking in.
You are welcome, 2003CAP, but the thanks really goes to all those outstanding forum members who pointed me in the right direction.
I am glad the creative, cheap solution worked for you.
I simply ordered a new cable and installed it. So much more comfortable with a working cruise control on highway rides!
