    Well, I've spoken to my mechanic about the switches on the steering wheel and he told me that when he presses Resume he can hear a relay click, but when he presses Set, there is nothing. I suggested to him he open up the switch and take a look.

    We'll see what happens. Thanks to everyone for their help so far.

    Silly question time.

    I suppose he is doing this while driving on the road over 40kph, not in the workshop?

    I hope so! I suppose I'll find out when I give him a call this afternoon.

    That is not a good assumption. There are plenty of wires in there, maybe only one or two are broken.

    Yes that is correct - I had the SRS fault - and I did a bodgy repair - then later the cruise stopped working - and I inspected the coiled up ribbon cable in the coupler under strong light and there was a break - and two more were hanging on.

    I replaced the rotary coupler and everything was fine.

    It is fairly easy to test the coupler - remove it and just check the resistance for each wire.

    Steering wheel switches have been inspected and found to be wanting. Replacement module on its way.
