The cruise hasn't always not worked at 70MPH... It did work when I first installed the amplifier (for maybe 2 or 3 wk). While driving today I had it cut out at 69mph, resetting instantly (by 'resuming' with the selector arm), accelerates fine with the 'accel' function, holds fine on level ground, but right at the bottom of the hill during the transition from downhill (or level) road to uphill or just slightly up the hill it cuts out every time.

I personally don't think it's speed sensor related... Maybe the higher-current draw which occurs during the transition from light throttle to accelerating is causing this? How come not during uphill sections below this speed (which requires identical or greater amounts of throttle input, often being completely 'floored') without failure. This is the reason I'm stumped.
