My cruise control doesn't work on my Mk5 Golf, no light on the dash when you toggle the switch. I opened the stalk and could see that 2 of the wires had come off inside the stalk/wheel housing somewhere (still attached to the switch end). Will it be possible for me to solder these wires back on or will I need a new stalk? I don't really want to remove and refit the steering wheel twice if I can help it!

IDK. Solder them to what?
