C70 Multifunction Steering Wheel Failure

Having a strange issue with my 2006 Volvo C70 diesel. The multifunction steering wheel has stopped working completely. None of the buttons respond, and I've got an error stored in the system memory. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a simple fuse or is there something more sinister going on?

I had a similar problem with my C70. Steering wheel controls just died. Did you check the cable connection in the steering wheel? Sometimes those can become faulty. Was the malfunction indicator active in your case, or were other symptoms present?

Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't checked the cable connection yet, mainly because I'm a bit wary of messing around with the steering wheel. By 'malfunction indicator,' do you mean the general engine warning light, or something more specific related to the steering?

Yes, I meant a specific warning light for the steering or related systems. Since you're hesitant to check the cable yourself, it might be best to take it to a workshop. In my case, the cable connection was indeed the issue. Cost me around 95€ to fix. Better safe than sorry with steering systems, wouldn't you agree?

Okay, thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on – it was a defective cable connection in the steering wheel. They replaced it, cleared the error, and everything's working perfectly again. The final bill came to 95€, just like you said. Appreciate the help!
