Why is my steering wheel horn not working?
The horn circuit not working should be a good place to start. Any suggestions or schematics would be huge. Thanks! even the horn is ran through the CANbus. There is probably a wiring harness that is loose, probably in the steering wheel itself. Took it into the dealer today, paid $125 for a diagnostic and $125 for a “fix”.

Why are the horns on my car not honking?
So check that the horn relay is powering up the horns. If you got battery voltage to the horns and they don’t honk, either both horns are faulty, or their grounds are making a good contact.
Why is my steering wheel fuse not working?
There is probably a wiring harness that is loose, probably in the steering wheel itself. Took it into the dealer today, paid $125 for a diagnostic and $125 for a “fix”. They pulled a code from the ‘lin bus’? (there were no indications of anything on the evic). That resulted in them replacing fuse 49, a 10 amp fuse for the ICS/HVAC.
Why is the horn not working at the steering wheel?
You cannot assume anything today because there are multiple computers hung onto every circuit. You would be right on older vehicles that twelve volts should be at the horn relay. In this case the clock spring is a good suspect, but the repair estimate is way out of line.
What to do when your power steering is not working?
What to do: common sense tells you whenever the power steering isn’t working properly, check the power steering fluid reservoir. And that’s exactly what you should do in this instance. But keep in mind, checking the fluid level is just the first step. If the level is indeed low, you’ll have to do your own investigation to figure out why.
Are there any steering wheel switches that work?
The right front side of steering wheel switches (cruise control) work fine. I checked the fuse associated with the horn (#42) and it is fine. Any other ideas?
Why does my steering wheel feel like its stuck in quicksand?
If your steering wheel feels like it’s stuck in quicksand and it takes 5 times your normal strength to make a routine turn, chances are the power steering hydraulic assist is losing power. Don’t check the fluid level while your car is cold; run it for a few minutes first.
Why does my steering wheel not work on my Audi?
The first is a fuse needs replacing (but I don’t know where to find the fuse this might relate to), and the second issue – rather more costly – could be the ‘clock spring’ is knackered….although I understand that would also affect the air bag and horn. The horn works and there are no warning lights for the airbag.

Are there warning lights on the steering wheel?
The horn works and there are no warning lights for the airbag. I have found on ebay a chap who lives 5 miles from me that will run a diagnostics report with vcds for a tenner which I think is very reasonabl, but I don’t know if this will help prove anything other than “no power to steering wheel controls”, of which I already know.

Why is my steering wheel not working on my VW?
This clock spring allows the wheel to turn and maintains a connection from the controls to the electrical system. It sounds like this spring is broken. Someone with more specific VW knowledge should be along to elaborate. I would start with a VCDS scan, especially of the steering wheel control module.
What should I do if my car horn is not working?
You can connect the horn negative terminal directly to the car’s body or connect it to the battery negative terminal, which will serve as our negative feed. Next, use a +12 volt feed line from the battery positive terminal to the horn. When you touch the horn terminal, you should hear the horn beep. Horn does beep. The horn itself is good.
Where does the radio control go on a steering wheel?
The wires that control the radio from the steering go to the Body Control Module (BCM), not directly to the radio. The BCM sends data over the serial bus to the radio. You can’t post conmments that contain an email address. If this is the lights for the switches in the steering wheel, these are LED’s.
What to do if your steering wheel is not working?
The controls complete the circuit to the steering column via a coiled flat tape with printed wires on it called the “clockspring” rotating contact drum. You must replace that. To do that you need to disarm the airbag system (VERY IMPORTANT) and remove the steering wheel, special tools are required and a fair amount of skill.

Why are the steering wheel controls not working?
Radio controls not working, steering wheel controls intermittent. Long time lurker, first time poster. Seems like a great community here. My ex and I (while we were together) had a 2013 Escape SEL FWD. When we split a while ago, she took the escape and I took the other car.
Why are my horn and steering wheel controls not working?
After about a week of no horn and no steering wheel controls, my airbag fault light also went on. I bit the bullet and went to a local service center (VolksWerks in Falls Church, VA). The service manager and technicians were awesome and quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem: a damaged clockspring (they called it a “spiral spring”).
What should I do if my steering wheel is not working?
Someone with more specific VW knowledge should be along to elaborate. I would start with a VCDS scan, especially of the steering wheel control module. It should provide a pretty solid starting point. If it was the clock spring, your airbag light would probably be on as well.

Are there any steering wheel controls that don’t work?
Thought I was going crazy. Horn, radio controls on both sides, instrument cluster buttons, heated steering wheel and voice control don’t work. Oddly enough the cruise controls still work. I’ve brought it to the dealer (should have come here first).
Why is the steering wheel not working on my Dodge Ram?
I noticed at night, the lights on both sides of the controls were going on and off as I turned the wheel. Thought I was going crazy. Horn, radio controls on both sides, instrument cluster buttons, heated steering wheel and voice control don’t work. Oddly enough the cruise controls still work.
