87 300D Cruise Control

My 87 300D has a cruise control with a mind of it's own. Sometimes it works, most of the time just intermittently. I am wondering if anyone knows of a kit to fix, and including instructions for swapping out?

Thanks so much,
Roger

83 300TD wagon - cruise control amp repair

Mine too. It seem to really like 80mph - just kinda goes there on its own.

I found a blog that said a lot of the time its loose solder joints inside the unit.

I have mine removed and I intend to reheat all the solder joints to see if that does it. I figure its not working anyway, I might as well try it before dropping 200 on a new one.

There is also a guy on eBay selling a repair video for about 15 bucks.

I'll keep you posted.

Cruise Control 85 300D

Hi, Thanks so much.

Any idea how to remove the Cruise Control. I looked under the brake pedal area, and not sure how to remove the panels w/o breaking something! Help!

Does mercedes Source have any guide book for sale?

Kind regards,
Rog
