VIP Steering Wheel Issues
« on: March 29, 2017, 08:58:00 PM »
My VIP steering wheel is getting erratic again.  Last year I had Fred help me sort it out and we pulled the wheel and cleaning the slip ring assy (yes, mine has the slip ring not the clock spring) but now it's acting up again.

Wiper come on randomly
Cruise kicks off periodically,
Etc.

I'm thinking about just replacing the slip ring assy but can't find one anyplace, even at BCS.  Has anyone else gone this route??

Thanks for any help.

When this happened to us the tech found a loose connection in the electrical bay under drivers seat.

Thanks Mike, I'll dig around and see if that might be the cause.  Might have to get the steering wheel pulled again and clean the slip rings up real good.  That temporarily solve the problems last time but I would like a more permanent solution.
