Hi,


New to newer buicks, but not to cars. Anyone have input on how to diag / fix the steering whl controls for radio etc on a 96 Park Ave? Any GM steering wheel controls info at all? Looking forward to talking with you all.


Thanks and regards,


Mark

Cannot be specific to your model, but the contacts do wear out. I have had some sucess with spraying contact cleaner into the area.

Thanks Mister,


Do you have to do any disassembly prior to spraying? Or just spray into the crack between the body of the wheel and the mounting buss?


Thanks again, Mark

I just spray into the crack around the switches, using electrical contact cleaner. Then work the switches back and forth. Best to do this with power off. I'm not sure exactly what kind of switch isinside, but I suppose if that doesn't work, you could try going further in.

Thanks, I'll go with that when the temp rises a little bit more.


Appreciate your insights that were confirming thoughts I'd had.


Best regards,


Mark
