Or does the speedo work, but just not the cruise? If the speedo is working, then the cable is obviously engaged enough to work.

Either way though, I would try and get that cable fitting on there better.
I agree with you. Regardless, whether or not the cable is the culprit, I still need to check that. It may be engaging the speedometer inside, but not some other electrical component related to the cruise control.

I know I have good vacuum. I checked both control wires, and I never got any voltage from either one. Hmmmmmm.....
