On the advice of the knowledgeable participants on this forum, I purchased a new brake light switch ($15.50) for my 1994 E320. This was suggetsed as a possible solution for my inoperable cruise control.

I finally got a chance this afternnoon to install the new switch. I found the old switch damaged. The plastic tab that locks the switch in place was broken off and the plastc surrounding the piston was severely cracked. Despite this, the switch was in its proper place and the brake lights operated properly.

It only took a few minutes to install the new switch. It took me 15 minutes or more to remove the plastic trim that surrounds the brake pedal. I broke this trim in several pieces due to it being very brittle. I will order a new trim piece tomorrow.

I went for a test drive and the CC operated flawlessly after not working at all for months! I would like to thank everyone for your help and suggestions. I also want to a leave a record to help others with 1994 E320 CC problems in the future.

Thanks again & have a good weekend,

Derek
