hi everyone, i just bought a chevrolet impala LS 2001. and it got some buttons on the steering wheel for audio control and cruise control .. after i bought it (used of course) i noticed that the audio control aren't working.. then i when i pressed hard on it.. it worked .. but not all the time.. i thought it would be just some dust i tried to clean it with some pressurised air.. it worked but with confusion.. when i want to raise the volume it changes the channel. and vice versa.. so anyway after some time the whole audio control buttons on the steering wheel stopped working.... however the cruise control still working fine without any problems.. what might be the problem??? and where should i fix it!!?? and how much should i expect to spend on fixing that!?? any advice will be great!
thanksSteering wheel audio control buttons?
Try taking off the steering wheel to see if its loose or crossed wiring at the buttons. If not, then you need to take it to a mechanic because it will be a wiring problem deep in your car.
Wiring problems are the worse to fix... good luckSteering wheel audio control buttons?
The buttons on your steering wheel work like your remote control for your TV. No mass of wires running down from the switches. Probably bad switch,Need pro to check it out.
Do not try to take the steering wheel off! The airbag has the potential to blow up with items attached. Specifically all those buttons your concerned about. The exploding airbag can do serious damage....to you!
This is one to take to the professionals.
DON'T REMOVE THE STEERING AT ALL..THE BUTTONS THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE JUST LIKE A REMOTE CONTROL AND AS I HAVE SEEN MAY TIMES THESE BUTTONS ARE MOST LIKELY DAMAGES DUE TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
BY THIS I MEAN THAT THEY PROBABLY USED THEM VERY HARD AND WITH A LOT OF FORCE.
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.
