Steering Wheel Controls BROKEN??

Post by feeney »

Jumped in the car the other day and none of the steering wheel controlls work... volume, trip computer buttons, horn etc

Any ideas what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Tried turning it off and on again?

Failing that, a fuse?

It could be spiral cable damage (inside the wheel)

If a simple on/off doesn't fix it, then you need to get it scanned to confirm the steering wheel control module is OK. If it's not the module, it may be the slip ring.

Sounds like you but with a bit of info behind it.

Not going to pretend to know what a clock spring is though, but it does sound like yours might be broken :shrug:
