I will certainly keep that in mind, even if I decide to get a new ETA and fix my old one. But, rebuilding the connector that goes into the ETA seems to be a complex job (it takes up the whole last quarter of the page in this link http://v12uberalles.com/throttle_actuator_rewire.htm).

BTW, my cruise control is working again. Go figure.
