Mine (97 pf) stopped working last summer, worked ok and then after 10 mins would suddenly drop and no longer engage. Continued to do that for a week or 2 with me assuming the switch was being a bit iffy before packing in completely. No codes set (because as I discovered it just thinks it's turned off!) and all the mechanicals seemed to be fine. Long story short after a bit of internet research for cruise control problems turns out the controller (like the type fitted to mine) dies...... controller swapped and tada! cruise works first time everytime. There was a "how to" on taking that type of controller to pieces resoldering the dodgy connections (3 bits of the electronic dodads attached to the pcb break their solder joint and drop dead) to bring them back to life but frankly whilst I can wave a spanner if needs be, electronic whizz bangs are not my thing! Don't always assume the switch is the cause!!!
