Look hard at the rubber bits near TB, in the cable shroud ends: wire might stick theres if loose bits. At least dangerous if rubber bits falls off and jams.

Thread self vulcanizing rubbertape around that & lithium -lubricate the wire. After lubrication wipe excess grease off. Lubricate also cabin end.

For test purposes disconnect cruise ctrl cable.
