So, I'd try unscrewing and then re-installing the physical electrical modules of the CC system. Also, check the condition of the heavy ground cable which runs between the engine itself and the auto frame. Check the condition of the negitive battery cable where it is screwed to the body / frame. When I remount electronic modules to a frame I use stainless steel screws.
