85 GSL - help with cruise control questions?
...aaaaand problem completely solved....
Swapped in a different gauge cluster and the dam CC started working--perfectly!
My old cluster had quite a bit of rust and dirt, now I want to see if I can still use my old speedo in the alternate, cleaner cluster, and maybe still get a working CC...
I just don't want to have to mess with a different odo...

Swapped the old speedometer into new/different non-corroded cluster, CC immediately started working with my old speedometer...
Looks like the poor general condition of the circuit board and meter mounting screws was impacting the continuity of the speed sensor enough to keep the CC from functioning--although it apparently had enough continuity to pass the ACC checker test.
With the "new" cluster, CC works, meter needles are rock solid/don't jitter or shake, and cluster lights seem brighter/steadier.
Thanks for the suggestions to replace the speedo, without that I wouldn't have ever corrected the problem.
