The old switch that was laying in the glove box was actually just the handle! I stuck it back in place months ago after removing the steering wheel. I had to jam it back into place , as it has two studs that allow the handle to pivot...

when i tried the original, it seemed to accelerate the vehicle, but since the housing was damaged, the handle soon slipped out of the socket.

the soldering job was not hard at all. figured it was faster than removing a bunch of things to plug in the new wire plug...

where is the cruise control amp?
