Steering Wheel Buttons

[WIL35]

Having a problem with all the steering wheel buttons! They only work when the steering wheel is at 90 degrees to the right. Bearable when driving around town but a bit tricky on the motorway!

I checked the ribbon cable connection was tight, seemed ok. Is there something else between the buttons and the ribbon connection that would cause this type of sympton?

You might have a crimp in the ribbon. I had similar problem and simply had the ribbon replaced.

if the ribbon cable is fitted snuggly to pcb fixed to the steering column and the steering wheel functions box then it does sound like the ribbon cable

I agree with ancol, take the steering wheel off and check the ribbon cable, Prise off the TVR badge in the centre (it's only stuck on) undo the single large bolt in the centre with a 17mm socket, and pull the wheel off, the ribbon cable is spiralled round the inside of the hub, its about 6 ft long, and will just fall out and unwind itself. Check the whole length of the cable, if there are any bare wires showing, cover them carefully with insulating tape. Then check the cable connections on the wheel and in the wheel hub, and check all the buttons work before re-assembling.
To reassemble wind the cable back up, and put the wheel back on, fiddly but you will work out how to do it. Before you bolt the wheel back in, wind the wheel round until to tighten the cable. when it just starts to feel tight wind it back the opposite direction 2 and a half turns, then push the wheel back on and tighten it. (winding it back is to give enough frr play so you can actually turn the wheel onto full lock)

Thanks for the guidance, I'll give that a try.
