No, that's not how they work. There is a failure mode where the vacuum units can only hold _one_ speed, somewhere around 60 MPH. There's enough circuitry in any of them to cause some really weird behavior when something goes wrong. I've repaired around a dozen of these things, using nothing but solder. (And one that required a capacitor, too.) You have to be able to solder fairly well, however, it's a big job and a fairly touchy one as well. http://userweb.windwireless.net/~jimc/cwcruise.html I figure on about two hours to repair one, not including removal and installation, or paint stripper time. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
