GREAT BALLS OF FIRE.

Here I am in Colorado ready to leave in my Audi  (tomorrow AM) for a week of 
R&R and my cruise control is kaput.  Then,  Simon -- in the UK -- suggests 
that I check the vacuum line running to the  switch in the brake pedal -- and 
BINGO.  My (memory-erasing) mind is  reminded that I simply pushed the switch up 
a few millimeters a few years ago to  fix the identical problem.  So I do it 
again (takes 10  minutes).

Problem fixed, Simon.

THANK YOU!!!

<<Hi mate

I have just spent two weeks  sorting the c/c on my v8 for a trip down  to 
spain 

being british  and total mad i started with the vacuum and worked  back.

Heres the  trick there's not a wire in the door jam that relates to  cc.

The  colour wire your looking for is blue with a black stripe but  over  
tensioning by the door jam loom can work the spade end connector loose on   the 
brake pedal vacuum switch check this first, second is the wiring in  the  stalk 
'it's also worth checking that there's power at the stalk if  after this  you 
have no joy then you must have a leak on a vacuum pipe. its  not worth  
checking the pump till last as they very rarely fail 

if  none of this helps drop me i line and il dig the notes out.

good  luck
