generally if it just blinks, you have a bad actuator.

Where is located? haha a new one is about $1200-$1400 at a dealer  they are easy to change and it's to the left of your battery, with a black cover on it. I have a spare, you can have it for $50 shipped if you want it, just PM me.

I don't know if this helps but when I bought my car (used) the CC worked intermittently. Then I discovered that on the back of the CC lever, a small rectangular box was falling out. When I pushed it in and the switch made contact, the CC worked, but it kept working it's way out. So, I took some crazy glue and put a few drops on the back of it and pushed it back in and held it for a few minutes and it has worked ever since!

Especially as common as it is for them to fail |

well i think because the actuator is responsible controlling the the speed of the car therefore it has to be...fairly accurate and smooth when increasing and decreasing speed...amongs some other safety reasons.
