Have you had luck resoldering your Cruise Control Amplifier???

These cruise control amplifiers are not always the problem...but they are a first step. I would rather spend $20 to resolder, which might fix the problem, than spend 300 and have the same problem. True that resoldering does not always work and I could be stuck buying another anyway, but logic tells me to at least start with the resolder. Have you ever had a problem with something, and kept replacing parts that werent bad? I have...it sucks. Trying to avoid that.
I had read a post about a year ago from either here or at mercedesshop from this guy who was having some success resoldering, and he was willing to do yours for $10, I think. I searched high and low on both sites, and could not find it again. That is why the double post.

Soldering isn't that tricky... the problem is finding the offending joint. I get the impression you want to reflow all solder connections. This is a daunting task. Usually you just inspect all the joints and find the one with a crack in it - that's how most electricians do it. Luckily, I have easy access to 10X-40X stereobinoculars for inspection.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I am trying to diagnose a similar problem. When my cruise is working, most times it will surge, surge and shut of or not work for long periods. I think that when I first start to drive the car the cruise does not work most times, but after a while it seems to work, sometimes without a problem. Almost like when it is warmed up or hot it seems to work. Could one of the parts getting warm create this?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Wow...this is an old thread.
Two things...
I sent my amp to an EE, and he not only resoldered all the joints, but replaced all the caps as well. Same problem..actually...I think I can rarely even get the cruise to react now. Sure it could still be the amp..but frankly..I never used the cruise all that much anyway. Just put it back together and forgot about it.
Also..I figured out what I was doing wrong with the soldering..or actually..the EE told me what I was doing wrong. I bought a new iron, some new solder and paste..and now I solder like a champ..most of the time..lol.
Good luck to you..sorry I could not be more help.
