Default Hooker gave cruise cable burns in a bad way

The slip fit from my Hookers LTs and cruise control cable decided to get togther, think the primary from the LT gave it an STD because it burned it prety good. Not sure if it works any more, but I ended up moving the cable out of the way and hoping it stays away. If the cables a gonner, is it prety easy to just swap the cable out?

Sounds like some drunken times I had in the military over in Korea!

exact same scenario here too--the header doesn't melt a steel cable so easily
