Peugeot 5008 Steering Wheel Multifunction Failure

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2009 Peugeot 5008, diesel engine, at 195183 km. The multifunction steering wheel isn't working, and there's an error in the memory related to it. I suspect a defective cable connection within the steering wheel. Has anyone encountered a similar electrical fault or connectivity problem with the steering controls?

Whoa, sounds like a PITA. Have you checked the clock spring? That's usually the culprit when your steering wheel controls go bonkers. Is the malfunction indicator constantly on or is it intermittent?

Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't considered the clock spring specifically. When you say 'clock spring', are you referring to the rotary coupling that maintains the electrical connection to the steering wheel controls? And yes, the malfunction indicator is constantly illuminated.

Yep, rotary coupling, clock spring, tomato, tomato. Since the light's always on, you're probably right about a bad connection. Honestly, you might be better off taking it to a workshop. Messing with airbags isn't worth the risk, IMO.

Thanks for the advice; that confirms my suspicions. I took it to a local garage. Turns out it was, indeed, a defective connection within the steering wheel. The repair, including parts and labor, came to 95€. Appreciate the help!
