>>Oh no! I thought it was going to be simple. Hopefully mine is the key
thing.
Tommorrow ill check it out, if its not that, then maybe Ill pull the fuse.
Let me know if anyone knows anything else.<<
Usually it's a key slipping into the space between the steering wheel
and column. Second tier cause is gunk buildup around the contacts in the
column. A good shot of tuner cleaner/ electronic parts cleaner, the kind
that evaporates and leaves no residue, around the entire wheel-column
interface can dissolve the crud and clean the contacts.
Had that problem with an old Jetta years ago. Cleaner ran out the
bottom a nasty brown color. Evidently PO had spilled coffee or pop in
there, liquid evaporated leaving just enough solid to bridge the contacts
when the wheel was in the right position.
