Well I tried to clean the actuator and I have tried to clean up broken solder joints and still nothing. No nothing! I think I'll order some capacitors for the control unit next. Ideas?
I just cleaned mine up real nice and put some new lithium grease in there and she started working....but only intermittently. Hopefully you'll have better luck.
Mine works too well. All it wants to do is accelerate, to what speed I don't know but at 80 it's still going up. It will disengage with a pull of the stalk but pulling down doesn't seem to want cancel the previous setting. I'm thinking I need to clean the contacts in the switch. Hopefully I can get contact cleaner in there without pulling the steering wheel. Pulling the airbag always makes me a little nervous.
Mine does the same. I've cleaned the servo motor and checked the module under the dash. No change. My control switches are also new, so I don't think cleaning the contacts will make any difference. The CC stalk is only a momentary switch and as long as the stalk returns to center, it is not sticking.
I've done quite a bit of reading and it seems you need to change two caps on the module board since electrolytic caps dry out after so many years.
Figured I would wait until after summer to take the module out again, strip the coating on the board, re-solder the board and replace the caps.
My CC actually worked properly but I removed it in the name of adding lightness. I never used it much anyway, it was kind of annoying to me without a "coast/decel" function.

Mine does the same as well.it continuously accelerates. I thought it was the ghost of Mr. Porsche saying drive my car like it was designed 😉. Do you know where I can get the caps or what the part number at an electronics store would be? Also where on the board are these caps you speak of?
