Cruise control replacement: Something I could do myself?
So, the cruise control has gone out on my '98.5 B5 A4 2.8 QMS about 3 times now since purchased new in '98.
Dealer is (obviously) going to charge a lot to diagnose exact problem this time (control stalk, unit under dash). If I can somewhat safely rule out that the stalk is not bad, as I had a complete control stalk replacement about 2 years ago, if it's the control module under the dash over near the glove box, how easy is it to:
a) Secure the part either through Audi dealership or 3rd party;
b) Actually take crap apart and replace said module? I have the guide book, but is this pretty complicated in regards to removing the glovebox and other things?
I've done some behind the dash stuff, but this one scares me a 'lil.
Thanks.

Re: Thanks, guys. I will try this one out. What's a good source for securing a *good* CC module?
Call Chase at A&P Auto Specialties. He always does me right on stuff I can't find at the junkyard.
