The car is 10 years old with 105K miles on it, and otherwise in excellent condition. It runs very well and all that. Just in the past few weeks, the cruise control became intermittent, where it would work in the morning but not in the afternoon (heat?). Now it has ceased to work at all.
Anyone else experience this or have thoughts on the cause and solution?

Every so often, maybe once every six or eight months, my cruise control won't engage. I pull over, turn the car completely off and then restart the car. Essentially I'm rebooting the computer. This does the job for me.
9 times out of 10 pulling the unit and resoldering EVERYTHING fixes this.
It's usually a cracked solder joint.
Thanks for the input, guys - I'll take a look at it with these things in mind.
