As of today, I still have not addressed the issue, so subsequently no results to post. I do believe, in this case, that the problem is in the switches, although I now believe that the on/off switch is also becoming a problem. And why not, with 219K miles and the fact that my dad has used those switches every time he's driven the thing since '99. As for me, I do not care for cc as I want to be driving the car and not the car driving me around. Depending on how hard the switches are depressed seems to be the difference in whether or not the cc with take over. Times are tight financially, so I doubt that this issue will be getting resolved anytime in the near future. Can still get the cc to work, so won't be messing with it right away. I hardly have enough time to sleep so won't be burning the candle at both ends for something so minor. Sorry to disappoint.
