It's most likely a fuse. In the W210, the cruise control fuse is the same fuse as the brake light fuse. If you have a w210, the fuse should be on the side of the steering wheel I believe. Just look through your manual.

Do you have worn front tires & new rear tires or vice versa? If so, your speed sensors are picking up different signals from the tires and turning off the cruise control.

woody gets a gold star. here is what i have so far....

Date: December 30, 2004
Order No.: P-B-30.30/61
Supersedes:
Group: 30
SUBJECT:
All Passenger Models Cruise Control Inoperative
For Information Only!
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles where the cruise control disengages at highway
speeds, but functions at lower speeds (~25 mph), ensure that a difference in tire circumference between the
four tires due to un-uniform wear is not the cause. Additionally; ensure that all 4 tires equipped on the
vehicle are identical in the following manner; tire manufacture, application (snow, all-season, performance,
etc.), speed, and load ratings.
Note : Version/SCN coding should be considered, if the vehicle recently received a ME software flash or
control module replacement.
If you receive reports in the above model vehicles of the cruise control disengaging, please ensure that the
vehicle's ME control module is properly version/SCN coded.
does this help? i'll keep digging
