Steering Wheel Control Failure?

Spoolin Montego · 07-08-2013, 11:18 AM

I heard an odd "pop" the other day around the steering wheel area and didn't think anything of it until I noticed none of the buttons were working on the wheel anymore. Has anyone else had this issue? I am thinking that something with that electronic ribbon got messed up and just needs to be replaced which shouldn't be too expensive, but not sure.

Was the steering wheel off at some point? Sounds like the cable real is broken. Is the airbag light on?

Nope it's never been off. The cable real is the electronic ribbon thing im reffering to correct? I had the wheel off of an E46 before and that's what I saw. No airbag light is on.
