After replacing both the servo and cruise control box with my questionable spares my cruise control briefly worked again but shortly went back to "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead"* mode when engaged. This morning a local Gendarme followed me for a few miles and I found myself wishing my C/C was operational. I pulled the circuit board out of my original unit today and examined every solder joint with a jeweler's loop and found a couple of cracked joints. Just like on the faulty DME relays the cracks showed up as a ring in the solder blob. Reflowed those joints and swapped it back in and now it operates properly Next time a police car finds it's way behind me I can hit the cruise and no more "I can't drive 55" *
