    Thanks for this. Getting the screws out and back in again from the back of the steering wheel was the hardest part. No corrosion to see, but a bit of contact cleaner and it all works fine again now.

    It worked!!! :) THANK YOU! It took me 2 hours, because of the cold beers I had with me in the garage and some heavy rock music.
    And I did not disconnect the battery. I used professional contact cleaner spray and followed your recommendations.
    To all who are going to do that:
    Something important - Here in Europe the cars are left steering wheel. In video is right. It doesn't matter. The method is same.
    AND be extremely carefully when putting the control buttons together. There are very gentle contacts inside and should fit perfectly. I've opened it 5 times till get it right. BUT VERY GENTLE!!! Do not rush! No hurry!
    Once again - What's the music in the video? :)

    Unfortunately, in my case, the chip looks spotless, so it has to be an electrical issue somewhere along the wires. I tried cleaning it thoroughly, but no changes.

    Yes, thank you! Both of them hardly worked in my Fiesta Sport but now it works how it should be. The two screws on top of the steering wheel were a pain in the ass. Still didn't managed to put them back in place.

  • @KK-yv5pb

    Thank u very much for this video, i prefered to replace the unit with a new one and you helped me a lot to do it on my own. I agree that the most difficult part is to put the screws (to the steering wheel) back again. The screws to be inserted and stay inside the old plastics is not an easy task, they can get loose and never fit. I bought the unit on ebay for around 50 euro while it costs around 120 in ford. Of course to clean it is better choice financially .

    Thanks for the video, cleaning the contacts with contact cleaner fixed it, even though they looked clean.
    This was a tad harder on a car with cruise control, but still done without removing the airbag. I still disconnected the battery to stop it honking as I pressed the trim back.
    The two screws on the back that go in at an angle are hard to get back in, I ended up using some glue to stick them to the end of my screwdriver so I could get them in straight.

    Thanks for this video, had a intermittent issue (would work for a little bit then stop). Couldn't see any corrosion but cleaned it anyways, saved at least £50 on getting a replacement part.

    Just done this and it seems to have helped the music volume/track skip issue (need to try cruise control to check still working ok/better).
    Thank you to the video uploader!
    However getting the screws out and particularly back into the rear of the steering wheel is possibly the singularly most annoying and frustrating thing I’ve ever done so if you value your sanity, think about paying someone to do it for you.
