95 850 Cruise Control is intermittent

[Mystical]

Hi, We have a 95 850 wagon on which the CC works sometimes. Often when
you first start off it will not come on. After driving for 50 miles or
so, by trying to start it over and over, it may come on. Once on, it
will run without a problem until the engine is turned off, but may or
may not come on when the car is started again, whether the car is hot or
cold.
Any ideas? Thanks Brad

I'd check the switch for the brakelight....
My Chevy Astro had a similar problem, and it was improper adjustment of
the brakelight-switch.

intermittent cruise control

I had a similar problem and ended up replacing all cruise control items one by one. The problem ended up being the last item I replaced that fixed it. The cruise control module ( near fuses)
