I'm trying to make my cruise control work. My 99 4.0 auto 4X4 doesn't even show the light on the dash when the button is pressed. I have tried 3 sets of salvaged switches so I am not thinking that's the problem. My thought is to check for a short in the clockspring.
here are the pinouts:

Provided I safely remove the airbag and unplug the entire clockspring so its 100% isolated is it possible me running a continuity test can ruin it? Also Im 99% sure one you pull a clockspring off its done(unless there is a way to keep it from unspringing) so if this is the problem should I replace everything that lives under it?
