Where are the radio controls on a Nissan?
Ugh!! Any Nissan audio system is controlled by buttons on the steering wheel, connected by 3 wires between the Radio (car music center) and steering wheel Unit / “snail” (set under the airbag). Snail has a minimum 12-pins ribbon cable.
How does the steering wheel work on a Nissan?
The steering wheel switches operate on a resistive ladder logic setup. For the audio/phone, there are three circuits which Nissan calls the signal A, signal B and signal ground. Each button has a different resistor value which results in a different voltage signal, so the buttons can be distinguished.
Why are the radio controls on my steering wheel not working?
My radio controls on my steering wheel have completely quit working. They didn’t stop working all at once though. The mute and seek buttons quit working but the power and volume buttons worked for about another week and now none of them work. All the cruise control buttons and rockers still work perfectly.
Are there controls on the left side of the steering wheel?
I am having the exact same problem in my 2007 Maxima with a slight difference. So, no controls on the left side steering wheel work (volume up down and blue tooth/seek), but all controls on the right side do (cruise).
