Croma Electric Steering Column Fault

I'm having an issue with the electric steering column adjustment on my 2010 Fiat Croma diesel. It has 148712 km. The column won't adjust, and there's an error stored. Preliminary checks suggest a defective cable or plug. Anyone else had this?

The electric steering column adjustment on a 2010 Fiat Croma diesel is malfunctioning, with an error stored in the system. Preliminary checks suggest a defective cable or plug as the cause. While fuses have been ruled out, further investigation into corroded connectors or damaged wires is needed. Given the complexity and potential need for specialized tools, professional repair is recommended to avoid further damage, with an estimated cost of around 95€.

Sounds tricky. I've not had that exact problem, but electric steering faults can be a pain. Have you checked the fuses and relays? A blown fuse could cause this, and that's a simple fix. Were the diagnostic codes specific, or just a general error? More info can help narrow it down.

Thanks, I checked the fuses, and they're fine. I'll need to get the specific diagnostic code again. If it is a cable or plug issue, is it reasonable to try a repair myself, or should I get professional help? I'm trying to budget for this.

If the fuses are fine, and you suspect a cable or plug, it could still be a corroded connector or damaged wire. You could inspect the wiring, but accessing it might be difficult, and you risk damaging other components. Given the error code points to the electric steering column, the repair may require specialized tools or recalibration. I'd advise seeking professional help. My workshop quoted 95€. DIY could cause further damage.

Thanks for the detailed input. Considering the potential complications and need for specialized tools, I'll get it done at a workshop. You've confirmed my doubts and helped me avoid a potentially costly mistake. I've received a similar estimate, about 95€, so I have a good benchmark.
