Loss of cruise control as symptom (a tad long)

The cruise control on my '03 9-5 Aero sedan stopped working recently. I checked the fuse which was OK and then did a 9-5 bulletin board search which pointed to the brake pedal switch. I couldn't easily get to it and made an appointment to have the people at my indy shop in Ann Arbor look at it. By the time I was able to get over there, I noticed that the rear park assist
was also beeping all the time and that the backup lights had stopped working.
Tday, they found that the switch was OK and that a Tech II run-through didn't show anything, I remembered that they had fixed on the backup lights about 5 months ago. The problem at that time was in one of the wires in the rubber flex tube near the trunk hinge on the car's right side had parted. Making a long story less long, they pulled the flex tube and looked at the 12 or so wires in it. Two of them were broken and the rest were about to break. After re-connecting all the breaks, soldering the connections and putting on heat-shrinkable tubing, they reinserted all the wires further into the "body cavity" in such a way that weren't bent when the trunk lid opened. It shouldn't be surprising, I guess, that everything worked afterward, cruise control, rear park assist, and backup lights.
Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to check those wires periodically to see that they're still intact, else problems could occur without warning.
