Any other electrical issues? How are battery and alternator? Are they up
to snuff? Is everything getting good voltage?

My 96 chebby truck has started doing this exact same thing the last
week or two, and some occasional wonky buzzing and lights on the
instrument cluster, and it cuts out when I change the fan speed or put
on the wipers (which are controlled by that same stalk switch). If
the switch is on, and I have tried to engage it and it won't, it will
then try to cut in which also feels like the engine is missing and it
jerks a bit. I'm thinking there is a bad ground or short somewhere
that is leaking electrons and messing with the CC brain or actuator or
something, whatever is in there. That will be fun to chase down when
it warms up a bit.

On my 95 E300 early in the summer the cruise control quit working. I
swapped in a rebuilt Programa unit I had bought for another 95 that I
pulled off the road due to rust. This unit was probably a couple of
years old, was not used more than a year. So anyway, cruise worked
fine then I started noticing while driving I could feel it dropping
out then kick back in right away. Just felt like a little surge.
Over the course of a few days it got worse. It then got to the point
where it would drop out completely and then sudden kick back in on
its own a minute or 2 later. This progressed to dropping out, then
kicking back in 10 minutes later, then it just quick working all
together. I figured it amp was bad again so I rebuilt the original
amp with new caps and resoldered it. I installed it this past
weekend and tested the car and it worked. Previously with this
original unit it would not kick in at all. Today I drove the car and
took it for a 2 hour drive and the cruise worked great. On the way
back I started feeling the same surging/dropping out it was doing
before. At one point it dropped out for about 5 minutes then kicked
back in. After that it worked fine again but sometimes could feel it
dropping out for a split second then kick back in. Other times it
would go a long time and never do it. So basically its starting to
do the same thing the rebuilt Programa unit was doing. I am starting
to wonder if there is another issue. Could it be something with the
actuator or the speed sensor in the speedo? Maybe its loosing power
to the amp, maybe a flaky fuse. I need to check that.
