Steering wheel controls not working?

code600 · 09-25-2010, 02:53 AM

I don't know why but for some reason the controls on my steering wheel aren't working. None of the buttons work at all. I haven't checked the fuses yet but anyone know which fuse it's suppose to be?

Not exaclty sure which fuse it is, but this sounds like you have a problem with your clock spring (the part under the steering wheel to allow electrical contact to the steering wheel functions including the airbag).

Do you have anyway to scan the car?

is it those 2 wires connecting to the airbag?

Well they are part of if. You won't be able to see it with the wheel on. I would get it scanned first to verify. But seriously, don't be messing around with airbag wiring. Take it to a shop, this is not a job to do at home. GL.

watch out...I know a friend of mine who messed with the air bag of his Toyota and got the scare of his life by having the bag blow on his face... luckily he was not wounded.

I already took out the airbag.
