Yeah when I changed out the old 86.5 column control switch to a newer 89+ switch I had to modify the contact wires for the cruise control. There was one extra wire on the harness of the new one that I had to eliminate. Doing so required me to take apart the column control switch and I can see how if something isn't aligned or press fitted properly it won't work. It's possible maybe a snap fit flange broke off and that's why you have to press down on it with pressure to get it to work.
