I'd say it's the button, a vacuum line, or the wiring in the steering column.

It could be the contact rings on the back of the steering wheel. They tend to fall apart over time.
I had a similar problem with my '88 XR7. It went away when I replaced the cruise servo in the fender.

You holding it down or just tapping it?
