Where will I find the CC actuator. I know it's in the engine compartment but where?

Thanks in advance

Your 1993 300E has either the 2.8 or 3.2 liter M104 engine.

There is no cruise control actuator. The cruise control function is part of the throttle actuator, which sits underneath the intake manifold.

There is another part that seems to affect cruise control function. I think it's the brake stop switch.

If you experiement with the search function, there is info in the archives.

Aie Mass Meter. It should be located between the air filter and the throttle body. It measures how much air is going in the engine. It will have a connector on the side of it probably. However, there seems to be some disagreement about whether you have a cruise control actuator or not. I don't know.

I checked on Parts Shop, and there are two parts listed: cruise control amplifier and cruise control switch.

I've never heard of either part failing on an M104 engine, but that's just from reading posts on this forum.

Whenever the cruise control fails on an M104 engine, 100% of the time the problem is either due to a faulty throttle actuator (EA / ISC / CC module) or due to a faulty brake stop switch.
