Hey benz inline and mb82! I have a ques now that you two have the same car. I also did the resolder trick on the idle control. Worked good. Also did the climate control unit w/ same sucess; just tricky getting the buttons back on. My ques is the cruise control: I took the accuator apart and cleaned it and resoldered too. Never took the amplifier out though. I can feel it trying to hold so I know it is getting voltage but not enough to advance the throttle to set speed. In other words, it slowly slows down till I tab the brake and I can feel the gas peddle hit my foot. Being that the car is so heavy and that actuator really has worked in the past to keep set speed, can I assume that it is toast and have to shell-out 230$ for a new one? 82 380 sel w/ 125k. Thanks les!!
