cruise control still not working

i tested all the inputs / outputs on the CC unit and it still wont engage. heres what i checked:

clutch switch works
brake switch works
set resume cancel works
power switch works.
CC light in dash works.
all fuses are good.

i took the actuator w/ computer out and everythign looks fine.

what do i do? where can i get a actuator / computer for it less than the dealer?

Junkyard, does the cruise control light not come on when you press to set it? And it doesnt actually move the cable.

now does it actually do something like try to hold speed, but it just off by 5-10 mph? maybe you need to tighten the cable

i had simular problem. It would turn on and run for a little while but after that it would shut off. I had to push dash button on and off and it would work for a while again.
I tracked down AC control box (under the dash, driver side), repalced it and it works like new.
