Possible clock spring? Does the lite in dash stay on?

No other issues--at times cruise light works will come on--set cruise--all good then green cruise light goes out --no cruise wait push on off button--nothing--then in a minute it starts working again all other items work fine dealer said switch so I replaced it --no diff wiggled and pushed all fuses--nothing Horn and all other items on steering work so guessing clock spring ok? It is just the cruise--works sometimes them not --will not stay on and work more than a few minutes Thanks for ideas--it is driving me crazy No codes shown at the moment

When this happened in our mini van, I was told it was the clock spring and that it also affected anti lock brakes. I have driven most of my life with out either of those functions, so I just blocked the lite on the dash. Several years later & still no issues.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

Possible clock spring? Does the lite in dash stay on? dash light might come on for a while--then goes out--it is hit or miss if it will stay on or not but only stays on a while then pops out/off Tried brake light switch --Nope--replaced switch in steering wheel --Not that either Horn and all other stuff on steering wheel works so could it still be clock spring? What about the TIPM? Do I just need a hard reset--like attach the battery cables together for an hour or so to reset--does that work will it help/ can it hurt anything? Wiggled all the fuses etc no change
