Cruise Control Actuator

[Steve N L]

I have a 1988 300CE. My cruise control cuts out every few minutes. My manual gives almost no information about diagnosis of cruise control problems. Pelican Parts has a great tech article about how to replace the cruise control switch on the steering column. Pelican also sells the cruise control actuator. I've been crawling all over my car looking for the damn actuator. Where exactly is this thing? It isn't near the throttle body. I don't see it near the engine. A cable runs from the throttle over the bell housing to some place on the right side.


Where can I find the Cruise control actuator?
