Thanks J Martin . I had a feeling it might be the steering wheel switches . I'm going to try and clean the contacts in them before trying anything else . That continuity test chart will come in handy .

They're little offbeat micro switches on a PC board. You won't be able to clean them and likely will break plastic linkage stuff trying to get to them.

There's a rat shack fix in the stickies.

[QUOTE=j_martin;3202062]Mine has a mind of it's own most of the time. I traced it down to bad switches on the steering wheel. Unfortunately they seem to be made of unobtainium, so I have to build up a rat shack substitute.

J_Martin , I found new cruise switches for the two spoke steering wheel online for $129.95 . Unfortunately I have the three spoke wheel .

I called chryslerpartscenter.com 800 number. They said they had them on back order. Gave me the number of a dealer that has 2 in stock. Called them and they do, but both are spoken for.

That's kind of the way it's been going.

The 2 spoke switch, of course, is totally useless.
