Peugeot 106 Steering Wheel Fault

My 2000 Peugeot 106 diesel has an odd fault. Mileage is 96428 km. The multifunction steering wheel is completely unresponsive and diagnostics reveals an error. Has anyone encountered this? Could a defective cable connection in the steering wheel be the culprit? Seems like a connectivity problem.

Interesting issue. I had something similar in my old 2012 Vauxhall Astra petrol. Total loss of multifunction steering wheel operation and a logged error. Did you check the connections in the steering column itself? Any sign of damage to the wiring harness? Wonder if it could also be a faulty sensor somewhere in the wheel?

Good shout on the steering column connections. Hadn't considered physical damage there, only the wheel itself. With your Astra, was it a straight-forward wiring issue, or did it go deeper? Trying to gauge how much of a headache I'm in for, before I commit to fixing the Peugeot 106.

For the Astra, it turned out to be the clock spring. I probably should have checked the obvious first. The garage I took it to said these things just happen, especially in cars with a lot of steering wheel controls. If you're not comfortable poking around in there yourself I'd suggest a workshop visit.

Cheers for the advice. Ended up being exactly what you suggested, a defective cable connection. Workshop diagnosed it and fixed it for 95€. Appreciate the help!
