Buton on wiper stalk not showing info screen

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
when i press my button for info screen nothing happens. Cruise control on other stalk works. Is it a simple case of its not connected. Recently had new ecu and squibb installed. Evething else works fine apart from this 1 thing. Would appreciate someone out there to shed some light on it. Cheers

sounds like it's not plugged in.

i'm hoping that's the problem. How do i go around connecting it, i gather i have to take the cover off on top of steering wheel to get to it. I've also noticed the throttle is a lot more responsive since having the ecu done.

where about the car is the wiper stalk connected to my info screen and how do i get to it. Don't really want to to just dive in and end up screwing something else up instead, with the way most cars are wired nowadays. You only have to look at them the wrong way and ur starter motor dies lol.

Your wiper stalk is plugged into the CIM module behind the steering wheel. With a gentle pull on the stalk, you should be able to remove the stalk and clean the contacts if necessary. You may need to dismantle the stalk to reveal the contacts under the info button. It maybe a build up of dust and dirt that is stopping the info button making contact to operate the display...
Hope this helps...

i've cleaned the contacts and dismantled stalk but still no joy. What and where is the fuse for the screen, could it possibly be simply a fuse gone bye bye. Cheers
