Thank u very much for this video, i prefered to replace the unit with a new one and you helped me a lot to do it on my own. I agree that the most difficult part is to put the screws (to the steering wheel) back again. The screws to be inserted and stay inside the old plastics is not an easy task, they can get loose and never fit. I bought the unit on ebay for around 50 euro while it costs around 120 in ford. Of course to clean it is better choice financially .
Removed, disassembled and cleaned switch contacts with contact cleaner on cotton buds. Now working perfectly. Also caused ‘ voice control ‘ button to work.
Thanks for the video, cleaning the contacts with contact cleaner fixed it, even though they looked clean. This was a tad harder on a car with cruise control, but still done without removing the airbag. I still disconnected the battery to stop it honking as I pressed the trim back. The two screws on the back that go in at an angle are hard to get back in, I ended up using some glue to stick them to the end of my screwdriver so I could get them in straight.
Yes, thank you! Both of them hardly worked in my Fiesta Sport but now it works how it should be. The two screws on top of the steering wheel were a pain in the ass. Still didn't managed to put them back in place.
Just done this and it seems to have helped the music volume/track skip issue (need to try cruise control to check still working ok/better). Thank you to the video uploader! However getting the screws out and particularly back into the rear of the steering wheel is possibly the singularly most annoying and frustrating thing I’ve ever done so if you value your sanity, think about paying someone to do it for you.
My steeling wheel controls are working, but wrong... I press the volume down button and it turns the volume up... the volume up button changes the radio channel. Why does this happen?
Only one button was working on my radio control. After cleaning it with contact cleaner, now 3 button works, but not all of them. Any idea why? Important is that Volume+ and Volume- is working. :)
Thanks for this. Getting the screws out and back in again from the back of the steering wheel was the hardest part. No corrosion to see, but a bit of contact cleaner and it all works fine again now.
I've just done this, thanks for the video. There was no corrosion but I sprayed it with contact cleaner anyway. When I put it back together, the volume down works but the << button now controls the volume up. The actual volume + button does nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks for this video, had a intermittent issue (would work for a little bit then stop). Couldn't see any corrosion but cleaned it anyways, saved at least £50 on getting a replacement part.
@@onit5669 indeed. During the 6 months I bought my 2010 Fiesta, I had to do small fixes like this now and then. Now my final challenge is to figure out why my car makes a whistling sound when in acceleration in specific torques :D
It worked!!! :) THANK YOU! It took me 2 hours, because of the cold beers I had with me in the garage and some heavy rock music. And I did not disconnect the battery. I used professional contact cleaner spray and followed your recommendations. To all who are going to do that: Something important - Here in Europe the cars are left steering wheel. In video is right. It doesn't matter. The method is same. AND be extremely carefully when putting the control buttons together. There are very gentle contacts inside and should fit perfectly. I've opened it 5 times till get it right. BUT VERY GENTLE!!! Do not rush! No hurry! Once again - What's the music in the video? :)
Glad if worked for you aswell! no clue about music !You can go in your account/youtube studio/audio library and you have there loads of free music ! You can use it because is no copyright music!
Thanks! I have (sorry had) a non functioning volume switch and hesitated to search for the cause. After seeing your video a started today and successfully repaired the switch (after 4 years of non functioning)! Very happy and really thanks a lot for your super and well explained video. Thanks!

Just repaired my media control switch after watching the video.. There are some details to be taken care during removal of the silver bezel.. Many thanks.. 👍
Well, how is this a secret if you all have to post everything they plan to do on social media. Idiots. That's why we aren't going to succeed because you give away every plan they have!! Thank you so very much! Why not just shut up and let it ride?!
its not every 30 min...he tweets every HOUR for 10 HOURS...then it goes every 30 minutes, then 15 minutes, then 10, then 5 then...Supposedly, it signals that all assets are in place and ready to go...
