[diesel_mercedes] Re: 85 TD Cruise Control Problems

I've removed and replaced mine, after trying to resolder it, as well as removed one from a PAP, which was the same number as mine, and installed it. Still no good. Won't do it again without knowing I have a good amp and actuator. Removing the amp is a pain in the ass, no back. I had to lay on my back, ass out the door, and reach up and unscrew the amp. I believe it was phillips #2. One side comes off OK, the rear screw has to be fiddled with, small vise grips, shorty phillips et al.

There's a few places you can mail off the amplifier and servo to and  they'll check then and do a ' TUNE UP ' typ of maintenence on them .  God alone knows how to get the C.C. amp. out from under the dashboard ,  I've been trying for over a _YEAR_ and cannot reach neither the amp.  nor the bracket it's bolted to as most recommend , to-day I have the  dash binnacle out and _still_ cannot even see it much less acess any  bolts holding it in .  -Nate      Lawrence  wrote:
