V50 Multifunction Steering Wheel Failure
Summary of the thread
The multifunction steering wheel on a 2005 Volvo V50 diesel has malfunctioned, with the controls becoming non-responsive and an error being stored. Diagnostics suggest a defective cable connection inside the steering wheel as the cause. A similar issue was resolved by having a mechanic handle the repair due to the complexity and safety concerns, particularly involving the airbag. It is recommended to take the vehicle to a professional workshop for proper diagnosis and safe repair.

Yes, the malfunction indicator lamp lit up when the steering wheel control functionality was lost. Could you elaborate on the issue you experienced and how it was resolved?

Yeah, sounds like the same thing. My mechanic said it was a dodgy connection inside the wheel itself. Honestly, messing with airbags scares me, so I just let them handle it. Saved myself a headache. I would recommend taking it to a shop. They can diagnose it properly and fix it safely.

I appreciate the confirmation. I'll take it to a qualified workshop for diagnosis and repair. For others, the repair cost was 95€.

Hey, I had something similar happen in my V50. Super annoying! My steering wheel controls just died one day. Did the malfunction indicator light up, too?
