Hello,
My cruise control has weak vacuum (it tries to engage but doeesn't stay engaged). I have traced it to the brake/cruise switch area.

IF I disconnect the line at the brake/cruise switch and seal the hose with my finger, the cruise control engages and works well. But, when I reconnect it to the brake/cruise switch, it engages but does not pull strongly enough to keep the car at speed.

What do I need to do here? Does the switch need to be replaced? If so, what is it called, and where can I find one?

Thanks a lot!
