I have an 82 Imperial. The cruise control did not work, one of the problems was a dirty contact in the turn signal lever. I exercised the switch a lot and it started to make contact again. I exercised it with a ohm meter across the contacts, the switch started to work sporadically, and then normally. The car had been setting a lot in dads garge.
