Ulysee Multifunction Steering Wheel Malfunction

My 2011 Fiat Ulysee with a gasoline engine has a multifunction steering wheel malfunction after 54859 km. An error is stored, and a defective cable connection in the steering wheel is suspected. Anyone else experienced this?

Summary of the thread

A 2011 Fiat Ulysee experienced a multifunction steering wheel malfunction after 54,859 km, with an error indicating a suspected defective cable connection. A similar issue in an Opel Vectra was traced to a faulty clock spring, suggesting a potential cause for the Ulysee's problem. The recommended solution was to have a workshop inspect the vehicle, which confirmed the defective cable connection and resolved the issue.

That sounds frustrating. I haven't had that specific issue with my Fiat, but I recall a similar connectivity problem with the steering wheel controls in my old Opel Vectra. The malfunction indicator lit up randomly, and some of the buttons stopped working intermittently. Have you checked the wiring harness in the steering column for any obvious damage?

Thanks for the quick response. I examined the easily accessible portions of the wiring harness but didn't disassemble the steering column itself. Was the issue with your Opel Vectra difficult to diagnose, and did it also throw an error code?

Yes, it generated an error code, though I cannot recall the specific code. The diagnosis was tricky. Eventually, a mechanic traced it to a faulty clock spring in the steering column. Given your symptoms and the potential for a defective cable connection, I'd recommend having a workshop take a look. It's probably best to avoid further complications.

I appreciate your insight and experience with the Opel. Following your advice, I took the Ulysee to a workshop today. The diagnosis confirmed a defective cable connection within the steering wheel itself. The repair cost 95€ Thank you again for your assistance.
