I'll confess... was a tech for 4 years, and never learned how that particular "switch" worked. Maybe someone else can tell us. But the one time we had one fail, we replaced the cable. Doesn't mean there's not a "fix" though. Just make sure that the rear half of the cable housing is up "inside" the front half, that black bell looking thing. During their adjustment, they might've messed that up.
And I want to clarify what I said earlier about the Service Manual... the cruise diagnostics is not in that one, it's in the separate Electrical Diagnostics Manual, if that's the right title.
Sounds like you have it narrowed down though. If fiddling with that part of the idle cable doesn't let the switch start working, I think you gotta replace the cable. OR... just run it and remember to touch the brake to cut off the cruise.
