Yeah, I remembered your issue when I was looking into mine. That was why I was really looking at the soldering but realized it was all really nicely connected and then I saw the arcing point that made contact that shouldn't be making contact. It wasn't a big deal to fix, I didn't even need to undo the soldering to gain some slack to space the wire from the terminal.I had just about that exact same cruise control button issue. Fortunately mine was close enough that I was able to just heat the wire with my soldering iron and push it into the solder that was already on the switch. I have seen the current offering uses spade-style plugs for the switches.
The flake of solder on the outside of the tan wire actually popped off and the insulation appeared to be solid but I couldn't get a great look since there was so little space. There likely was a pinhole in the insulation there which is why my heatshrink/electrical taping fixed the problem and it works nicely again.
