Re: Cruise control
Check the cable tension in the actuator. There are videos for this adjustment on YouTube, along with threads here on it.
If the cable tension is not the solution, then it might be an actuator/control box issue. Start with the simple/easy, and work towards the complex/expensive end of the spectrum. Cheers!

Re: Cruise control
You are most welcome.
The actuator cable tension slips, over time. This is the usual suspect, and it is not too difficult to adjust. It makes a world of difference, relieving a host of stressors -- I just wish the other life stressors were so easy to relieve!
Cheers!
