Hi i wouldn't rule out an electrical problem but it may take a transmission shop to actually pinpoint,where it is.the fact that the cruise has a prob also leads me to believe you actually have either a speed sensor or wheel sensor. these sensors have a lot of probs in the winter due to ice and wheel slippage,.

do you have a abs light on or traction these normally will accompany most speed sensor failures.

Thanks,
The speed sensor has been replaced (if its in the transmission box).
Is there only one wheel sensor.... or is it one on each wheel? Could it be caused by a brake problem?....once, some months ago, I forgot the hanbrake on and the brakedisc left,back was glowing red. No imediate problem after that.

Yes there is a sensor on each wheel depending on rather you have 4 wheel abs or a system called rabs which is only rear wheel abs. the heat from a overheated brake rotor could most definately cause a sensor in that wheel to fail. i would take a good look at that sensor on the overheated brake occurred. although these are independant systems the heat is in the same place as the sensor.
