07 ram 5.7 cruise control/ vss circuit prob
 

I installed a front leveling kit in my 2007 ram 1500 rcsb 5.7L in 2008. No problems until earlier this year when the speed sensor wire slipped from where i had it tied and was cut by the aftermarket bumpstop. I cut out out the bad area and soldered it back together and cleared the code with my sc cortex tuner. I broke the lock tab on the sensor wire connector but just pushed it together and hard as i could and hoped it would stay. Worked fine for about 3 months. Maybe 2 weeks ago the cruise turned off on me on the highway. It would go back on but would cut out again from time to time. I reached under and pushed the connector together, and it seemed to work fine for a day, then started cutting out again. Last week it stopped working entirely. I checked the code the other day and not only did i have the vss circuit code, but an erratic vss performance code. I figured the connector was losing connection, so i taped it together. no luck. Today i cut the connector out entirely, got some more wire the same gauge, and hard wired the sensor the the harness. I carefully ohmed the connector to make sure I had the polarity of the wires correct. The cruise still wont work. Is there some fuse or resistor inside the speed sensor that I burned out, or did I damage something inside the ecm?
