A Possible Reason Why the Horn and Steering Wheel Controls Don’t Work

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

In this video, you can identify a reason why sometimes the horn or the steering wheel controls in your car may not function. The cause could be the spiral contact, a component located in the steering wheel that transfers data.

Essentially, this device, with its spiral shape, follows your steering actions and transmits information regarding the horn, airbag, and controls, including all commands on the steering wheel, such as the radio controls or cruise control and speed limiter.

If there are issues with these devices, checking this component - which users cannot intervene with - is a good idea.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
