Hi all,

 

To summarise in a few words, my car is showing Horn "short to ground" through VCDS. I have pulled the fuse for now to stop it going off. 

 

I changed the steering controller over a year ago, to use a MSFW. Buttons never worked, I just accepted it, as the car continued to function safely.

 

In preparing to sell the car, I removed the wheel, the steering controller to re-fit an old one, and changed the gateway module back as I've removed the RCD330.

 

I got the car working, but when trying to use the horn, the cruise control would cut. I checked VCDS, changed a setting, then the horn was stuck on, hence having to remove the fuse.

 

I've tried 2 airbags, I've tried 2 steering control modules. I haven't switched the gateway module.

 

I'm swayed towards the clock spring becoming damaged somehow, I have ordered one. Is there *anything* else this could be? Are steering control modules known to go wrong easily?

 

Thanks for any advice. I will be back with a Skoda, but I'm leaving the country, so no point having a car sat still.

I can't think of anything other than the clock spring..

Thanks, I thought as much, just wanted to see if I'd overlooked something.

To anyone following or interested, I replaced the squib with an exact part number replacement and the horn works again and the steering wheel buttons now work

Phew...
