If the ABS controller is toast , would that cause all the steering wheel buttons to stop working? Only the horn works on the steering wheel, no buttons, and the turn signals also do not function.

One thing that is missing for me on Forscan is the ABS. I cannot bring up any ABS modules. It does show an error for ABS but you cannot click on it even though its highlighted blue like a link. Anyone have a link to instructions on how to activate the ABS part of Forscan? I did however pull the...

Guess I will be chasing this rabbit for awhile. I bench tested the clock spring, and 100% of all pins give me continuity through the unit to the other side on my meter. Hopefully the aftermarket one I ordered is in fact a good replacement and that itself doesn't cause new issues, and I will...

The horn is the only thing working on my steering wheel. All other buttons don't work. Signals don't work. I forgot to check the wipers but the clock spring is ordered. When I pulled out the old one, I spun it around a couple times to see how it feeled and forgot to mark it, so its probably off now.

Oh wow! You are correct. I looked at that steering rack control board and its mounted right under the oil filter with no shielding over it at all and its got some black dirt and oil caked up on the outside, not too bad on the 2 big fat connectors which I am sure are waterproof connectors, but...

Got the clock spring out, 10 min job, and I am going to replace it regardless now if its the issue or not as I have been playing with it too much and probably got it spun around wrong. I did mark the position on the wheel hub, but not the position on the clock spring. It feels smooth, but not...

Turned car on, tried to make phone calls, tried to control radio, control Mustang dash display like tire air pressure display, etc, nothing works, can't do anything with the control buttons on the steering wheel , nada, nothing. Nothing works except the horn. Forscan does not appear to have any...

Yeh I was exploring that the other night trying to find videos of changing out the clock spring. Its showing 2 codes for steering wheel faults and the steering wheel will not control the radio nor the dash , talking about the cursor control, does nothing. It was working just fine before this...

My opinion is the screens will be crap just like all the new electronics are. I have not owned a car now in 20 years that didn't have consistent electronic failures of some kind or another. Try and keep a car for 20 years and see how many dash lights you have that cannot be cleared. I also own...

I went with Forscan simply because it seemed to do all the Ford stuff for just $35 for the cable and I have a laptop. Is there a scan tool you recommend? If I am going to spend the money it would be great if it does Nissan and Ford if thats doable because thats what I have, Nissan and Ford...

New battery did not fix it. I erased the DTC codes but they come back immediately within seconds of erasing them. Same exact codes as I posted at the top of the thread. What I find interesting is this steering wheel code and control module problem. I cannot hit the OK button on the steering...

Battery shows 60% charge on charger but I have been starting and stopping the car many times in the garage. Its a Walmart Everstart MAXX battery, born on date 7/20, so its 4 years old, enough for me to go buy a new one right now even though car cranks right up. No corrosion on the connectors...

Actually this is good advice. Let me check on that. Car cranks fine, everytime, but let me disconnect it from the battery, and while its sitting disconnected I will put my checker/charger on it and check the date and run a charge on it just to be sure. I have a couple of the high end fancy...

Its driving me up the wall because nothing is obvious about this. There is nothing I can point to and say "oh there it is" because the car runs, but its certainly not going to pass an inspection with the blinkers shut off and ABS, traction control turned off and beeping all the time. At 80k...

This is a real good one. After all this rain, and I want to say it may be connected, wife's car dash lit up like a tree, but the car runs fine. ABS light, restraint control light , Parking brake light, both traction control little car symbols both sides of the shift indicator comes on, then...

Be sure and replace the drier also when you do and vacuum it down. You may have contaminants in the line. Water is a big contaminant and vacuuming it removes it by "boiling" it off. I have replaced a ton of AC compressors now, probably a dozen in my lifetime, and never had one issue but I always...
