The window switch is most likely gummed up. They can be cleaned and reinstalled, if you're careful. The contacts can be cleaned by "burnishing" (rubbing with a pencil eraser).
Your cruise control sounds like it's operating just like the one in my former car, a '77 300D. I removed the control box from behind the passenger side kick panel, opened the cover, then resoldered all the connections. After re-installation, it worked great!
There is no light in the dash to indicate whether the cruise control is on.

Wow,
I am developing a love hate relationship with our car. We named it Double G (Golden Goose) because we have not had to stop at a gas station for 4 months (over 7K miles). She purrs like a kitten on WVO, Biogreasel and 100% biodiesel. Can not hardly tell the difference.
The bad, someone rearended the car and was estimated as 4K in repair and the insurance company wants to give us $1600 dollars and total it. We paid 2300 and did 500 in repairs ect. We also have 3 issues I hope you guys can help with.
1. drivers window will not go up or down- just started last night
2. Cruise control will accelerate only if hold the lever up but will not do anything else. ( is there a light that tells if it is on)
3. A/C not blowing cold.
do not really know where to start with these issues. Drivers window and cruise are probably the priority. A/C, my son may be able to dx when he gets into his A/C class in college.
thanks, NICK
