I had done that previously. After the cruise worked for 2 weeks.

What mine does: When you set the cruise it works ok for a second or two... then it starts hunting which gets worse very quickly and it cancels.

I wonder if the heat from de-soldering the caps "jolted" them back to life for a moment

I should check and see how smooth the output is from the pot in the underhood servo.
