My cruise control didn't work when I bought the car('84 300sd) last June. But we plan on a trip next month, and as tired as my leg gets holding down the stiff throttle these diesels seem to have, I decided to have it fixed. Took the repair shop (Conaway Motors in Everett, Wash.) a couple days to track down the problem. Turned out to be a burnt out amplifier. Apparently someone had worked on it in the past and screwed up. The mechanic finally took the cover off the wire connector and found a wire inside re-connected to the wrong pin, which resulted in burning out the controller. Cost about 105$ for a used one, plus about $180.00 labor for all the time spent trying to find the source. Works sweet now.
Good choice! I love my 300sd. I've owned two old 1968 220D's. Nice cars, but really, really slooooowwwww.
