Focus multifunction steering wheel failure

I've got a 2022 Ford Focus with a gasoline engine and a weird issue. Mileage is at 179786 km. The multifunction steering wheel has stopped working completely. The diagnostics are throwing an error. I'm suspecting a bad cable connection within the steering wheel itself. Anyone else seen this?

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I've got a Focus too, though I can't say I've had the exact same experience. When you say 'multifunction steering wheel,' are you talking about the steering controls for the radio and stuff?

Yeah, precisely. None of the steering controls work anymore. No volume, can't answer calls, cruise control is dead – the whole shebang. Did yours exhibit similar symptoms?

Yep, that's the badger! Everything on the wheel just died. I messed around with it for an afternoon, but I couldn't get anywhere. Ended up taking it to a workshop. Turns out it was a busted connection within the wheel, like you suspected.

Cheers for confirming! I'll get it booked in at the workshop then. They've quoted me 95€ for the repair, which seems reasonable enough. Hopefully, that sorts it. Thanks again!
