Steering wheel functions module circuit diagram
Discussion
Hi clever folk, has anyone reverse engineered the steering functions module please.
The R4 resister has let out the magic smoke, trying find out its value. I may have inadvertently pushed the ribbon cable in reverse 😢
If not a photo may help to see the colours. A circuit diagram would be brilliant. TIA.

No circuit diagram unluckily but I do have lots of photos and a spare unit The R4 resister has let out the magic smoke, trying find out its value. I may have inadvertently pushed the ribbon cable in reverse ?

Measuring the resistance across R4 is appears to be 10.2 Ohm and the colours as far as I can see are Brown, Black, Black, Gold which matches what a 10 Ohm resistor should be
Any more photos or measurements you need just let me know

Thank you Judder, I (we) have had the steering wheel/column out this morning. I discovered that one of the hazard warning switch wires had been pulled out of its connector . A quick solder by a more competent friend, and then gently returned back into the car and hey presto, hazard warning lights are now working again. I also have indicators, horn, dim dip, washers and wipers working. So I am at a loss, as to what the burnt resistor does. Perhaps it is not completely kaput?
Pleasure and great that you have it all working again.
Often resistors are just used to stabilise bits of circuit so it might not be a critical component to getting the unit running (no schematic, just a logical guess )
If you meter across the resistor with a multi-meter on ohms setting you can see if the resistance is infinite (blown) or around 10 Ohms (still working) which will give you the heads up as to whether it is completely kaput or just wounded from (at a guess) have excess current going through it due to being grounded or similar

Seeing as I had the spare Steering Wheel Control Box out, I photographed and measured all of the other resistors so we all have it for reference
