Cruise Control Problem??
I have never been fan of MB cruise control since it does not seem to work on about 90% of the MB's from the 80's. On my 1980 wagon the cruise does not engage when you lift the actuator lever, however when you hold and maintain the lever up the car accelerates, right up until you let the lever go, then it disengages. My question is: what went bad? Does this mean that my cruise control amp is no good, actuator or control switch? Or could it be still something else? Thanks a million in advance.

Yep, the SDL has started to do the exact same thing. Time to find another cruise control amp, or have these guys rebuild it:

Probably amp failure. Could also be actuator failure though the symptoms are typically no actuation at all. I have a spare actuator I can sell you if you need.
