Hey guys,
Went offroad for a 2 day trip this weekend and noticed yesterday toward the end of the day that my steering wheel controls had basically died. The backlight was fine, just the volume, tracks up and down, phone, and source button were unresponsive. The ‘i’ button was also not changing the DTE, L/100km and trip computer on the dash.
My cruise control controls were fine, on the other side of the steering wheel. At the time I put it down to the hours of use or something. Tried restarting the car, didn’t fix it.
Next morning, started the car and it’s all working again - great! 5 minutes later, dead. Didn’t work the entire 4 hour trip home. Went home, car off for a few hours, started it again, and it works. 5 minutes of driving later, it’s dead.
I imagine it’ll happen again tomorrow. Now, I would blame the head unit, but it cannot be, because the ‘i’ button only talks to the trip computer, and it dies when the other controls do, and works when they do, so I’m thknking it’s the switch bank.
Any ideas?
