Default Re: Cruise Control problem

I got back on the freeway and tried setting it to 70 again with no luck. So I slowed down to see if it would set at lower speeds, and it did. It will not set on anything over 60 mph.
I read some posts on here this morning. I checked the #10 fuse and its fine. Last night i discounted the battery and let it sit for awhile and still its not working.
So, anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I find the MB cruise control to be one of the most unreliable on the market.

That said, if it tries to hold but won't, it is likely in the speed sensor.
Does your speedometer needle flicker at those speeds?
It or the wiring may just be loose.

I never had a Benz that this feature was reliable after 5 or 6 years.
