[Vwdiesel] Cruise Switch

[Val Christian]

In this case, the cruise will fire up, and if I do a left turn signal,
the cruise will drop off.  That is the normal modality.  The second 
modality, which it is in right now is not coming on at all.

The conclusion I have come to is that the problem is electrical.  Compressed 
air, contact cleaner and four letter incantations have not worked.

Try holding the button on and see if the throttle catches up until you let go, unless it's a bad leak that should work, but it'll quickly drop off (like, as soon as you let go of the button).
