Fiat Idea steering column fault

My 2012 Fiat Idea with a gasoline engine has an electric steering column adjustment issue. Error's stored, and the column won't adjust electrically. Thinking it's a dodgy cable or plug connection. Anyone seen this before?

I had a similar issue with my Fiat Idea. Was getting some weird feedback through the wheel at low speeds before it packed in completely. Did yours start doing anything similar before it fully died?

Interesting! Nah, mine didn't give any feedback or warnings. Just straight up stopped working. The mileage is at 47187 km. You think it's worth checking the connections myself, or should I just bite the bullet and take it to a workshop?

Honestly, unless you're super confident with wiring looms, I'd say workshop. I tried poking around myself and ended up making things worse. Best to get it diagnosed properly. I ended up paying around 95€ for the fix - so it was cheaper than I was expecting. They said a plug was corroded.

Cheers for the advice! Workshop it is then. Hopefully, it's just a corroded plug like yours. I'll post a follow-up once it's sorted. Much appreciated!
