AMG GT steering wheel controls failing

Multifunction steering wheel malfunction on my 2021 Mercedes AMG GT gasoline engine at 44350 kilometers The error memory logs indicate a fault, and initial diagnostics suggest a defective cable connection within the steering wheel itself Has anyone encountered a similar connectivity problem affecting their steering controls or control module Is this related to the steering column I am trying to understand how deep the vehicle diagnostics need to go The estimated repair cost is 95€, which seems reasonable, but I'd prefer to have a better grasp of the situation before proceeding

I also drive a Mercedes AMG GT Your situation rings a bell A while back, I experienced intermittent failures with the steering controls Certain functions would simply become unresponsive It turned out to be a faulty control module connection, if I remember correctly Have you checked the relevant fuses It’s worth a look before tearing into the steering wheel

Thank you for your input Regarding the control module connection, could you elaborate on the specific area that was problematic Was it the connection at the steering column itself, or somewhere else in the system Furthermore, were there any other symptoms present besides the intermittent failure of the steering controls I am trying to understand if it is a similar problem before going to the workshop

Honestly, I don't recall the exact location of the problematic connection It was a while ago, and the workshop took care of it But given your car is still quite new, and the error is stored in memory, it really points to a deeper electrical fault If vehicle diagnostics point to a cable within the steering wheel, you are probably facing the truth At that repair cost, I'd say go ahead and get it fixed

I appreciate the confirmation and advice I proceeded with the repair as suggested As suspected, it was indeed a faulty cable connection within the steering wheel The issue is now resolved Your insights were helpful in confirming the likely cause and providing the confidence to proceed Thank you once again
