[s-cars] Cruise Control inoperable

[JC]

Perhaps true Steve although I do a lot of work with contact cleaner and it
is designed to "creep & seep" around corners.  Personally I agree with you
I'd take it apart, but the switch is disassmbleable without pulling the bag,
wheel or contact ring. The way the shell pops apart you can really get the
end fully opened up right there in the car without having to remove the
entire stalk. Just have to be careful not to lose that micro spring and
other parts as you do it.  I've even re-wired a stalk without pulling the
wheel (although yes not real fun task). You mentioned B5 platforms, that
definitely might be different than the old stuff but on the old stuff switch
cleaning doesn't require too much work.
