S40 Electric Steering Column Problem

Hi, I'm having trouble with my 2012 Volvo S40 diesel. The electric steering column adjustment isn't working anymore. A message keeps popping up, and I can't adjust the steering column at all. I've checked the fuses, but they seem fine. The car has 174841 km. Could it be a loose connection somewhere?

I had a similar problem with my S40. It turned out to be a faulty connection in the steering column. Have you checked the cable and plug connections thoroughly? It might be worth inspecting them for any signs of damage or corrosion.

Thanks! Where exactly should I be looking? Is it difficult to get to the connection points in the steering column? I'm not super experienced with car repairs.

I suggest you take it to a workshop. I needed help from a professional. The error memory said that the cable or the plug connection of the component was defective. They charged 95€.

Thanks for the advice! I was hoping it was something simple, but I guess I'll have to take it to a shop. At least I have an idea of what to tell them to look for.
