I was appreciate advice anyone can give regarding an intermittent problem I have with my cruise control (Mercedes C- Class 1997). Recently the cruise control currently only works intermittently. I have checked the break pedal limit switch and have even tried to short it out but this does not have any effect. I also do not think it is the cruise control column switch as it works perfectly on occasions but after this I am lost. The cruise control some times works and when it does work it operates 100% and will continue to work until I switch off the ignition but on restarting the car the cruise control will not operate. Following a period of operation it could be several days before it works again and then only until I stop the car.

I would appreciate any advise that you could give if you have encountered a similar problem.

Thanks a lot.

Ian
