Good morning all,
The cruise control will work only ten % of the time.
I can hear when it starts from OFF as it does a little *bzzz* noise.
Then, from the moment i set the desired speed, it'll run fine, until I
stop it or if i push brake or shift pedals.
Annoying, it won't activate most of the time.
I strongly suspect a defect electrical contact, altough no lights nor
message beeing displayed.
Volvo asks 1000 bucks in order to repair, and it's not my bag.
I should be grateful if you would help.

Mike, thanks for your reply. The brake pedal actually opens the
circuit, and prevents constant speed functions activation unless i
pull it first with foot.
