Re: [MBZ] cruise control again

You can also splice a piece of hook-up wire onto one lead, lay the cap
down, and run the extended lead parallel to the cap to the other end.

If the leads have to spread very much, you might want to tack down the
radial capacitor with a glob of RTV so the vehicular vibrations won't
cause problems.

Takes patience and practice for sure. The next one will go much better I bet.

That's what I figured.  I would have preferred to replace with the exact 
style, and I should have ordered both when I did my order a while back, 
but if I were to order just these, the shipping would be more than the 
parts.

caps were radial and that is what I have on hand.  On this next one I need to 
do it is out of a newer car and the caps are all the same except the 10uf ones 
are axial on that board. Can i install the radial ones in place of axial 
assuming the leads are long enough, or would it be best to order the proper 
axial ones?

As long as the values are the same, it doesn’t matter.  The characteristics of 
the caps are the same. Just spread the leads out so they reach the holes, 
observe proper polarity, and you’re in business.

[MBZ] cruise control again

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So here is the continuing saga of the cruise control rebuild. After 
reflowing the joints, then all out desoldering and resoldering it still 
would not work. Over the course of the last few days I have gone back 
over each joint and found some that did not look like I soldered them 
very good.  Added a little more solder to those joints.  Then would go 
back over them again and find a few more to hit again. So I finally 
tried it out just now and it appears to be working fine.  I hope I have 
not cursed myself.  I am now getting ready to start on the next one I 
need to rebuild.
