87 CGT: Cruise Control Woes

["Jon" <jwilliam@ns1.water.net>]

I seem to be writing quite a bit lately.  There's nothing terribly 
wrong with the car *furious knocking of wood* but I'm a little anal 
about it so everything has to be working properly or I lose sleep at 
night.

I took a nice hour long highway trip the other night.  Car ran 
beautifully, tracked straight as an arrow at 90mph.  Problem is, the 
cruise control, which I knew wasn't 100 percent but at least worked, 
cut out on me completely.  No amount of pushing or pulling the switch 
would cause it to engage.

I got it home and checked the fuse.  It was fine.  No leak in the 
vacuum servo diaphram, I checked that too.  Next comes endless tests 
of the control unit harness connector.  Problem is, I have no 
multimeter.  Does anyone have a recommendation as to which one to buy 
and where I can get it?  Is this a pretty standard piece of hardware 
or is there vast differences in quality between manufacturers.  

If there are any shortcuts anyone can give me about solving this 
problem I'd be much obliged.

Jon
