Before I get flamed I searched and read for many hours before posting.

My cruise stopped working a few weeks ago. Today I checked the cable, vacuum hose that goes to actuator, fuses, relays. Everything works.

What the car does:

no codes

When I turn on the cruise and set it to speed it won't keep the speed. It tries to keep it and even down shifts (4 auto). After that it just turns off. I tried to set it by holding the set button on the wheel and then turning the power to it from the dash. when I do that the cruise light starts flashing and it won't even engage for a second.

From all this I think that the actuator is working because of the down shifting. I am thinking that it's the control module in the corner of the engine bay or the speedo. How can I test those and fix the problem?
I tried to remove the control module but I couldn't.

Thanks!
