My car is really..........

[Stealth69]

Getting on my ing tits!!!!!!!

One day after shifting my steering wheel my sodding indicators and steering wheel buttons stopped working... OK I thought asked about on here, people were more than helpful and as suggested I changed the steering wheel cable

Since then I have cahnged the Steering wheel cable, the cable in between, the PCB board that connects to, the only cabel left to change is the one that goes fro mthe PCB to the Wheel control ECU which I am gonna do tomorrow.....

Now this is the funny bit thaat I just don't understand, the cable that goes from the PCB to the steering wheel ECU, I put it in one way the horn button works and nothing else, if I put it on the other way around the wipers work and nothing else ....... CONFUSED PLEASE HELP !

and to top it off my battery doesn't have neough charge to turn the engine over !!! GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Fuses?

[Stealth69]

nah checked them man, all the other bits that go through the same fuses work as well

I just don't get it

[Stealth69]

How common is it for the steering wheel control unit to break ? ? and is there and easy way of getting to it please ?!?!

[TT Tim]

Have all the buttons stopped working on the steering wheel?

I ask as my wiper buttons packed up and I eventually traced it back to the wiper control box that had just decided it was going to die!

What you need is a decent circuit diagram. Go chasing one wire and you'll find a problem which'll suddenly make everything work

Any idea where I can find one of these mate ? ? ? ?

While you're there, could you just pick up the Golden Fleece and Holy Grail as well.

Seriously, I'd love a wiring diagram if you can get one - please, but I suspect that they may all be slightly different, at least the positioning of some control boxes, my wiper unit was in the passenger footwell, whereas Walldonway, expected it to be in the boot, as it was with the other cars they'd seen.

ooohh a golden fleece, I could do with one of those as well, it gets cold when I'm out working on the car

Just spoken to Austec and they said much the same, the cars vary alot in terms of wiring so they would have to see the car, will try and replace the Steering wheel control unit, if that doesn't work of to Austec it is

Worth charging the battery first, as low current can lead to all sorts of weirdness
