Hi,

I have a Volvo XC90 2.4 D5 2004.
But none of the buttons on the steering wheel are working - not volume for radio, not cruise control.

Sympthoms are following:
* buttons on the steering wheel are lighted up
* buttons on the steering wheel are not working, none of them
* horn is not working

I have checked internet over and over and have 3 conclusions, what might be faulty:
1) steeling wheel lining/wire/connections - but in this case they would work periodically and the buttons would not be lighted up;
2) steering wheel module (swm) - in this case also the turn signals would not work and also the headlight would be faulty;
3) clockspring - in this case the airbag light should light up in dashboard.

I have heard that this is common issue for V70, XC70, S60, S80, XC90, so I believe someone had similar problem before.

Please share, what was the solution.

Thanks in advance!

 

A couple years ago I was replacing clocksprings (mainly on XC90s) because of the anti skid light that would come on. After I replacing the clocksprings I got the same stoma that you have. No buttons on the steering wheel worked and the horn did not work. So that is a possibility of what's going on in your case.

 

ok, this makes it even more interesting. so you had this issue after changing the clockspring, correct?
so clockspring might not be the case.
how did you fix it afterwards? maybe it is just some programming issue?

thank you!

P.S.
I do not have the anti-skid light coming on.

 

I fixed it by putting another clockspring in the car

 

I just bought a 05 XC 70 and the audio controls on the steering wheel are not working. Any idea how to make them work?
