Steering Wheel Controls Stopped Working

[kayleya1]

Hi Guys,

I've had a look through the other topics and can't seem to find an answer, so hopefully somebody will know.

 

Basically, all of a sudden my steering wheels controls have failed. They all failed simulataneously, and i'm struggling for ideas.

 

Is there one fuse that controls all the items, (horn, cruise control and remote stereo), and where would that be, or is it more likely to be a cable trapped some where?

 

Hopefully someone here will have an idea and be able to help me!!!

 

Thanks in advance.

No fuse and only one connector which is behind the lower cowel. There are only two common points which would cause everything to fail at the same time.

 

I'm not familier with the galaxy's wheel control's but most manufactures use a resistance ladder for the switches which will need a controller to decode the inputs and this could be the fail point, the wiring diagram would suggest the controller sits with the relays in the fuse box as it numbered as "A329"

 

That would be first on the list to check however all the wiring passes through the "clock spring", imagine an old grandfather clock's spring:

The wiring passes into that one end and out the other end. If you has a static connector, you wouldn't be able to turn the steering wheel without the wiring snapping however by using a clock-spring unit the wires are either wound in or out as you turn the wheel. Its generally quite reliable but because its a moving part it will eventually fail and could also be the cause of your fault.
