I know it's a daft question but you have fitted a new MFSW / Airbag loom?

Yeah the steering wheel air bag came with all the wiring to the buttons all I added was the two cables to pin 9. & 10
Euro 6, according to the wiring diagrams should be pin 36 grey/white cable look at *8
Check you've connected to the correct cable behind the switch
Have you coded it?
Buttons only light up when the lights are on so they're switched by the light switch they're done by canbus so if you've not coded the wheel or connected to the correct lin cable then this might be why they don't work.

Thanks I'll try pin 36 on the bcm hopefully that's my problem
I've coded the wheel using OBDeleven which was easy
I connected to the black cable on the light switch which is 12volt
Thanks for the help

Is this still in the white bcm

There's no grey and white cable there only a green and grey
I dunno then mate, speak to the place you got the wheel from

I opened up the connector on the bcm found the grey/white cable connected to that still nothing, will check the light switch connection is correct I connected to the black cable which is showing 12volt , next I'll need to remove the steering wheel and check the voltage there, thanks
Interesting as I am looking at theirs for my 6.1 I will hold off. Is it a case of programming via vcds?

I've coded mine using OBDeleven easy to do and it's saying code accepted, going to test the steering wheel wires sure I'll get it working. My van didn't have a mfsw be so I had to add in two cable from the column connector bit of a pain of a job but everyone does it

Yeah got it sorted thanks I had used a scotch lock on the bcm bad connection wires soldered and all works
ok, so you spliced into pin 36 on the BCM in the end (rather than 17) using the scotch lock from pin 10 on the steering wheel? Then pin 9 spliced into to the feed from the lights?
Ah ok, yeh those scotch locks don't have a good reputation. I had to use them on my towbar because it was impossible to crimp or solder into the BCM cables so fingers crossed they stand the test of time. Thanks for your feedback

Hi
Hi, I’ve have been chasing my tail for a while now which this. I have a start line with the same wheel as you, have done exactly the same as you and nothing works. The lights do work on the wheel but it ends there. Did you change your BCM or your clock spring? I’ve noticed on mine pin 11 on the T41 connector for the stalks which is supposed to be for the ACC the pin isn’t there . Not sure if a high line clock spring has this in place ???
just not qui sure as where to go from here.
I’ve checked that all the wires are in the correct location in their respective plugs and I know that I have 12 v and Earth to the wheel.
got a pic of what you have?
we needed to send off the Golf MFSW to have the IC Chips in the Golf button modules swapped out for T6 IC chips.
this was due to the Golf and T6 being on different platforms so the golf buttons wouldn't speak to the T6 modules.
when we had the wheel returned it was plug and play.
....
This is my wheel. I don’t have any chips from the old wheel as it wasn’t a MFSW ? Are your lights on the steering wheel white or red ?
