Mercedes GLA electric steering column issue

My 2023 Mercedes GLA diesel has an electric steering column adjustment failure at 57297 km Error memory shows a fault and I can't adjust the steering column electrically anymore Could this be a dodgy connection? Repair is estimated at 95€

That's irritating when convenience features fail I had a similar steering failure with my GLA The electric adjustment became unresponsive with an error message Did the error appear gradually or suddenly? Have you checked the fuses? A blown fuse could be the culprit before deeper electrical issues Is the steering wheel locked or difficult to manoeuvre? Have you tried resetting the system by disconnecting the battery?

Thanks for the quick response The error appeared suddenly with no warning signs I haven't checked the fuses yet The steering wheel isn't locked, just stuck I haven't tried the battery disconnect Did that reset work for you?

Disconnecting the battery didn't help in my case That reset might not address the issue if it's a deeper electronic malfunction Given the sudden failure and that the steering isn't seized, it's likely an electrical fault in the steering column module I'd suggest a workshop diagnostic check to pinpoint the cause and determine if it's a loose connection or something more complex

Thanks for the advice The fuses were fine I took it to the workshop, and it was a loose connection in the steering column module They fixed it, and the electric adjustment is working again The bill was 95€ as estimated A relief it wasn't more serious
