V50 electric steering column adjustment defective

My 2010 Volvo V50, gasoline engine, shows an error in the error memory. The electric steering column adjustment is defective; it can no longer be adjusted. Suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Anyone seen this before?

That sounds like a potential wiring issue. Have you checked the fuses related to the steering column adjustment? Sometimes a simple blown fuse can cause such problems. Also, inspect the wiring harness for any visible damage or loose connections near the steering column motor.

Fuses are all good. Where exactly is the steering column motor located? I want to check the plug connection before taking it to a shop.

The steering column motor is typically located directly on the steering column, usually behind the plastic trim. Given that the fuses are fine and you suspect a connection issue, I would recommend having it professionally diagnosed. A workshop will have the correct diagnostic tools to pinpoint the fault.

Thanks for the info. Turned out to be a loose plug. Workshop reconnected it and cleared the error memory; cost me 95€. Problem solved.
