You are a wonderful person!! The steps and explanation are very clear, I've done the same process in the video and now work wonderfully .. Thanks so much for this!!
A+++ My partners horn didn’t work at all with or without lights on. Tried your recommendations and step by step procedure. Now fully working! Saved a few quid 👍
My 57 Zafira had no horn/random radio volume issue. All I did was, disconnect negative battery terminal, push airbag out (didnt disconnect) and the small wires were all squashed. I carefully pushed them all to the sides whilst pushing the airbag back in. Reconnected battery...horn works every time and radio controls now work!! Really simple. The wires were squashed beneath the airbag...that's all.
I have exactly the same issue however mine is now completely not working. When i watched this video all i saw was the big orange wires that connected the airbag i did not see any other wires. Are the orange ones the ones that you say got squashed???? Cheers fella
@@amilzekria6635 it's the really thin brown wires that come from the thumb wheel and into the main loom via the airbag section. It's a really tight mess!
Worked 100%, thank you so much! To those wondering whether to do it, it's a lot easier and quicker than it seems. There's less than 10 screws in total.
Thank you so much. Vauxhall wanted £80 just to run a diagnostic check and that's before parts. I've just done this and got my horn working again. You sir are a legend!! 👍👍👍👍
Having a car in UK seems expensive. The whole repair in my shitland would cost as much as just a diagnostic check for you mate. But i would be concerned about the fact they can steal the airbag while repairing the car.
Thanks for the detailed tutorial, fixed my left stalk not turning on high beams. Moved the moving plastic part with contacts on the bottom of the PCB back into place and now it works perfectly fine, also scrubbed the through-hole pins so hopefully the horn thing doesn't manifest itself anytime soon. Airbag was indeed a pain in the back, for anyone struggling I would recommend pushing the screwdriver in at different angles (towards the center of the steering wheel) and pulling on the airbag until you feel it letting go a bit, then you know you can push as hard as possible to release it. The little while codewheel was difficult to remove as well but using a tiny flathead screwdriver works great for separating the brass pin from the case.
Hey Dumitru, I followed this video and fixed the horn. However I now have issues with the indicator, it is the same problem as yours so I hope your experience could help. My indicators won't self-cancelling after I complete a turn, either left or right. Since there is no mechanical cancelling switch. So how did you get it fixed? please tell me this is extremely annoying!
Excellent guide. The clip 'fix' vauxhall fit FOC basically is a 10min job. The steering wheel need not be removed nor the airbag. The clip compressees the 2 piece steering control unit to allow the rusty / problem electrical contacts to better contact. Gets the car through the warranty period before it fails again. The contacts on my car were indeed oxidised. White film on aluminium. Other contacts are copper. Why vx used Al here? Cleaning didn't work for me but made the steering controls work again on left side only Methinks a new CIM needed or something else wrong. Already checked horn and earth. What is clear is that vxhall dealers have not bothered entering steering control box where code wheel is etc. Thumbs up for this video
Hi! So i've followed this guide and got success results! I had problems with the horn and left radio controls module so i followed this guide to open the CIM module. I applied a special product for cleaning and lubricating electrical contacts (don't use WD40..), didn't have to scrape, just cleaned ALL contact points. I also did an additional thing: I soldered the board external connectors (There are three of them). The connectors are not soldered to make the outer plastic box separate from the CIM board, and they are fixed to the PCB using special "legged" pins with no solder that might loose it's effectiveness over time. All works fine now! Thanks again insaneinvader!
Worked perfectly, thank you! I didn't have the problem with the lights/volume switch, just that the horn stopped working. Fuses were okay and I had already replaced the wiring loom under the airbag. Also, no power was reaching horn, so concluded it had to be the cim. Fairly straightforward to do but had a little trouble re-attaching the black ring thing that sits under the centre of the cim casing. Took me forever to re-align it properly so that it would sit in place correctly, prior to putting the three attachment screws back in. Took a bit of working out but got there eventually. Bit like a jigsaw puzzle! My indicators were also starting to play up, not always catching on the first/second time. This is another known fault I believe with Astras. Not only annoying but can be dangerous. This was an easy fix by cleaning the contacts while the cim was in two pieces. Indicators now working perfectly. I am slightly puzzled that my cim did not have a small white code wheel fitted. However, everything seems okay without it!
Hey Rodger, I followed this video and fixed the horn. However I now have issues with the indicator, it is not the same problem as yours but your experience could probably help. My indicators won't self-cancelling after I complete a turn, either left or right. Since there is no mechanical cancelling switch, I believe something goes wrong in CIM, maybe the angle sensor? Do you have any clue? or maybe just tell me which contacts I should clean, thanks.
Great Tutorial Video, I followed all the instructions and after I had put the unit back in it was working like a dream. I wasn't sure what chemical you had put on the contacts so I used a small amount of GT85. The notes and warnings like (THIS WILL DIFFICULT) were very helpful. Thank YOU
Thank you very much. This was also true for my Astru H 2006 year. I did not work the siren and when I cleaned the contacts in the CIM module, my siren worked. Thanks again. Marino. Croatia
Really informative and easy to understand. Met some difficulties that I was warned in video so wasn't caught by surprise. Now the horn works perfectly. Thank you so much!
@@romandobrussian9338 thanks a lot for letting me know. It’s almost always the small things that take a lot of time. Or I break some vital small plastic thing 🤣 and ruin the day….
1. To remove airbag better use long hexagon driver as for bicycles. 2. Return steering wheel to center position before dismounting. 3. To remove levers I also use small hexagon driver of appropriate size.
I fixed it in 2 hours in my Astra 1.7 CDTI 2010. It wasn't connected with lights. Horn didn't work when it wasn't cold like -10 degrees. Thank you very much for your help.
Hello everyone! I did everything like in video, but forgot to mark code wheel.... Assembled everything and my turn signal didnt come off. I disassembled it again and placed it like in this video, and it worked. Everything works, turn signals and of course steering wheel commands. I hope you all marked it like in the video! Thank you very much insaneinvader!!!!
hello, good day, the same thing happened to me, after giving the signal, the arm does not drop, it stays like that, how should I follow it, can you help me?
Thank you for that! Really clear explanation and relatively easy to do. I'm no expert and managed to follow the instrunctions and get it done. All issues fixed!
Thank you for such an informative video. In my case it also fixed the left hand steering wheel up/ down control buttons which have been intermittent for years. BTW... i didn't have to remove stalks or the disc. Also, not sure if you mentioned it but there is a short term fix for horn which is to set the dash illumination right down which I'd been using before I came across your video. Thanks again, Adrian
Excellent video, many thanks for taking the time out to do this. 😎 .... but if I mayvadd an improvement, don't use a metal ended screwdriver to remove the air bag connections, use something insulated....you never know. 😉
Don't ever try to remove plastic wheel the way it is done at 7:10! The pin is locked to the case and should pressed out from behind with a small torx for example, without force applied to the board.
Very good step by step, 10 years ago I would of sorted it but not sure about my old eyes now lol. Just bought the car and didn’t know the horn was knackered and messing up the radio.☹️
INDICATOR CANCELLATION ISSUE UPDATE: The black disc 4:36 will not spin indefinitely. You get about four or five turns (each with its own potential re-centre point). If you put the steering wheel back on and it's not in the correct re-centre point, the auto indicator cancellation may not work. To fix this, whilst the wheels are straight, I had to count all the turns in the black disc, and align the re-centre on the turn in the middle rotation. I hope this helps.
Señor, es usted un monstruo. O dicho en su idioma. You are really big. Sir. I am having the problem at the left control of the wheel. If I cannot resolve in other way, the next weekend, I will do as you have explain so clearly. Thank you very much for your work.
Excellent video! What a pain in the behind cars are sometimes. This is weak design on Vauxhall’s part if it’s a common issue. My car has been suffering from this intermittently since I bought it about 6yrs ago.
Guys, in case of mine, there was broken thread on metal plate, where block with triggers is located and fixed. So, it cause bad contact of SIM module and ignition lock. When i start the engine, horn wasnt work. After i fix this issue, horn do well! I fix it with putting into thread hole a peace of metal tape
Good tutorial. I think I have a similar issue but with a vectra C 2007 the horn just doesn't work sometimes. But others it, does. Lights on or off makes no difference.
Great work, thanks. I have one question. On 6:50 min in video on CIM module has one white wheel, i don`t had on my module when I repaired. What is this code wheel and what is hims work, thank?!
Great video and really well explained. Every time I drive my wife’s Astra and hit the horn, the stereo just gets louder and scares me instead!! My question is this, and apologies for sounding a bit thick..if I do this procedure like you have and repair the CIM I don’t need to “re programme” it to my key so I? I know I would have to with a new CIM but it doesn’t like reset or anything while you repair it? Cheers in advance….
Całkiem inaczej naprawiłem nie działający klakson, i od 2 lat trąbi tak, jak zespół Combi :-) Wystarczy wymontować dwa symetryczne wyłączniki w kole kierownicy - od przełączania radia i podobny z lewej. Trzeba je rozebrać, ostrożnie wyczyścić, kontakt sprayem, poskładać i Trąba Trąbi !!! :-) Pozdrawiam. Tanio, prosto i skutecznie, dot. Astry H z 2005 r.
Witam. Mam podobny problem z klaksonem. Tylko on działa odwrotnie. Przy odpalonym silniku nie działa a przy wyłączonym działa. To może być to samo? Pozdrawiam.
Car fixed. Horn works and all steering controls. After cleaning contacts the horn and RHS steering controls still did not work. A forum post suggested unscrewing the buttons on stwering wheel for volume etc. As the RHS was still inoperative I tackled this. You need T20 to unscrew bolt from behind steering wheel. Thin flat screwdriver or wiggle / pull audio control out steering wheel. I had a garage already replace these a few yrs ago with new. I replaced new with old one after tugging cables. Plugged in old one. Result - horn works all time with lights on / off and with dash rheostat bright/ dim. RHS audio controls work flawlessly along with LHS. Battery drain of 150mA has gone. I checked this 10min before and left for 40mins - no change. After effecting this repair the voltage stays at .080A for 2mins then drops to 0.00A Maybe connector earthing/grounding to negative? Tiny wires looked in good nick. Worth a try. Saved £££ £115 OBD DIAGNOSIS £600 CIM £60 to reprogramme new CIM Hope this helps someone
I've got the CIM out, but mines got some moisture in there. Bigger concern for me is that there is no small code wheel, and one of the readers(?) on the black code reader isn't there (number 3 left to right). Would love someone's help with this.
Ive just done this and works perfectly. I was having issues with the left indicator not working sometimes as well as the horn and steering wheel buttons and they all work well now.
Hi, great video, very precise! I've used it to repair horn and ignition key not working from time to time. But now I can not calibrate the the steering angle sensor with OPCOM. SAS offset stays on 128 and when I press calibrate it's doing something then it stops and can not calibrate. Steering angle changes when I turn the wheel. Do you know maybe how to fix that?
@@DIY-up6us I have a problem that I can't calibrate the SAS, after starting the calibration, basically nothing happens. OP-COM does not ask me for a carpass or do I still have to enter it before I start calibrating?
Kind off did everything accordingly, but in the end the horn doesn't work even with lights off.. Did take it apart one more time, and cleaned again, will see what happens now. Do anyone have some ideas what could be the problem? UPDATE: After second cleaning and reinstalling - everything works! You are the best! Can't thank you enough!
Yeah with mine also and the rear wiper also dont work nd after a test drive horn fails again. And i even soldere the connector with wires. I guess its more than just that tiny connector
Hi all. I dont have issues with the horn while any light are on etc but seems that when I full lock the steering left it fails. I can most of the time get it working again by full locking to the right. My MOT is due in 3 weeks so need to fix it asap. Is this still a CIM issue or is it a wiring loom issue? Thanks
Question for anyone. When it comes to the airbag part. Is there any danger or the airbag deploying when removing it in this way? I'd rather not have an airbag /screwdriver combo in close proximity
Min 6:39... al desmontarlo no marque la posición por al abrir lo cayó sola la pieza esa, como puedo saber en qué posición iba? Ahora el coche me da código error esp en el tablero.
Hello guys, I wanted to ask you a question, for a few days the instrument panel of my car has not turned on. The lights stay on, the light switch does not respond and the fog lights do not go either, the radio light is also off. Otherwise the car starts well, the radio works, also the horn and everything else ... What could it be? Thanks.
I haven't disconnected the accu before repair but people here recommend to disconnect it. I've never hear unwanted clicking coming from steering wheel.
So technically i dont need to remove the big codewheel either just to clean the connectors for the faulty horn right? Since they are exposed as soon as you take off the cover?
In my Zafira 08 horn failed just recently. Thing is that turning lights on or off doesnt influence horn, it seems that it starts and stops working just randomly (For example on auto lamp - do not work, on off - do not work, on lamps on - work). Contact local dealers, they told me that issue with the horn under recall was fixed in my car back in 2011. Im wondering to di this fix, but i do not know is worth the trouble and will it help?
Widzę film konkret, można spokojnie rozbierać. U mnie też występuje problem z klaksonem (astra h z 2008), zaczęło się niedawno i teraz niestety coraz częściej sygnału nie ma.Nie występuje tu zależność włączonych lub wyłączonych świateł. Od początku natomiast tj. od kupna przeze mnie tego samochodu, nie działa regulacja oświetlenia zegarów. Raz udało mi się "pobawić" a następnym razem nie działało. Wg informacji dla serwisów opla, samochód podlegał akcji serwisowej ale nie wiem czy ją odwiedził. Właśnie przymierzam się do sprawdzenia czy jest spinka na CIM, poźniej trzeba będzie rozważyć ewentualny demontaż modułu. Pozdrawiam.
witam, jaki cel mają "zabiegi" ukazane między 6:40 - 7:15 ? nie można jak na filmie z ruclips.net/video/MMKqq8tVtQQ/видео.html ?? czy to rozwiązanie działa również na zbyt szybko wyłączający się jeden kierunkowskaz i rzadko występujące odpalanie samochodu za drugim razem?
Jeśli chodzi o oznaczenie położenia kółek przed ich demontażem, to jest to potrzebne, gdyż umieszczenie ich w innej pozycji spowoduje niedziałanie modułu lub uniemożliwi jego poprawne złożenie. Jeśli chodzi o ściąganie białego kółka to jest to zupełnie zbędne tak jak to zaznaczyłem w filmie. W przytoczonym konkurencyjnym filmie zastosowano rozwiązanie, które również proponuję w 8:19, i które wg mnie będzie lepsze niż czyszczenie styków. Niestety nie wiem na jakiego innego rodzaju awarie usuwa ta metoda naprawy.
Witam codo kierunkowskazow jesli demontazu dokonales na skreconych kolach to mozna to popierdolic zawsze na prostych kolach i ja bym osobiscie odlaczyl baterie zeby blad z poducha nie wyskoczyl a codo problemu z zapalaniem/zadkim odczytem immobilizera sa dwa piny na plycie on immo ringa i u mnie jeden sie poluzowal i trzeba bylo go zlutowac spowrotem do plytki. Dziex za zajebisty filmik pomugl. Ps. Ale hujowo ta podoche sie zdejmuje masakra srubki owiele latwiejsze
I got similar problem, my high beam works only when I'm using stick for blinking but I'm not able to turn it on, only blinking is possible. Do you think that CIM module is causing this problem? Thanks
Hi all, I have same problem with horn, and have followed this tutorial at the end, but problem was not on connectors described in this tutorial. Actually it is in connector where air bag is, @3,17 , copper one circle shape on the left. Just freeze the video at 3.18 min, and you will see it. After scratched it with screw, my horn worked emediatly, no matter if lights are on or off.
Could i fix the cruise speed with the same opening technique and finding out what is wrong in there? Most likely oxidation i believe cuz it works sometimes
Hello, I have the same problem with the horn like you, I followed your steps watching the video and now horn works well. But after that light for ESP is always on. Do you know what the problem is?
Hi, I believe that ESP uses data collected from steering wheel angle sensor so you may need to dissasemble CIM and check whether you have assembled everything correctly. Pay special attention to the positioning marks 4:16 and 4:28. Examine the internals of the CIM, especially the sensor consisting of metal disc with holes and read head equipped with infrared diodes looking at the holes in the mentioned metal disc. Check if codewheel (metal disc) is placed in the exact same place as it was before disassembling. I think it is possible to rotate the thing 4:37 several times (a way more than 360deg) so maybe at the assembling time you rotated it e.g. in wrong direction. In summary just make sure everything was put in the exact same place and position as it was before disassembly. Nothing more comes to my mind... Please leave feedback if you find the solution!
agreed, your esp is on because the steering angle sensor is off by more than 15 degrees, which means you put it back together out of alignment, the gold disc is tied in with the steering angle, and tells the esp the angle of the steering, so the car knows if its out of control, this also happens when the wheel alignment is out.
I dont have a problem with my horn but my signal lever keeps cutting out on its own, and I replaced the turn signal lever twice with the switch built it. Could this be the problem or just something like a flasher relay?
This wonderful tutorial is beyond perfection. Thanks a lot for sharing with those of us whose cars suffer from the same fault.

man ur the best had my mot failed but followed ur tutorial and all fixed in 30 min!!!
Try this first…. Loosen the steering wheel then go ape on it pulling back and Forward. This fixed mine 👌
Yay I did it, was a bit of a fluff but sorted,
Thanks for the great video..👍
Good tutorial. I think I have a similar issue but with a vectra C 2007 the horn just doesn't work sometimes. But others it, does. Lights on or off makes no difference.
This is great ,with the help of the video I was able to service my Astra H horn thanks.
Great work, thanks. I have one question. On 6:50 min in video on CIM module has one white wheel, i don`t had on my module when I repaired. What is this code wheel and what is hims work, thank?!
Great video and really well explained. Every time I drive my wife’s Astra and hit the horn, the stereo just gets louder and scares me instead!! My question is this, and apologies for sounding a bit thick..if I do this procedure like you have and repair the CIM I don’t need to “re programme” it to my key so I? I know I would have to with a new CIM but it doesn’t like reset or anything while you repair it? Cheers in advance….
Całkiem inaczej naprawiłem nie działający klakson, i od 2 lat trąbi tak, jak zespół Combi :-)
Wystarczy wymontować dwa symetryczne wyłączniki w kole kierownicy - od przełączania radia i podobny z lewej. Trzeba je rozebrać, ostrożnie wyczyścić, kontakt sprayem, poskładać i Trąba Trąbi !!! :-) Pozdrawiam. Tanio, prosto i skutecznie, dot. Astry H z 2005 r.
Witam. Mam podobny problem z klaksonem. Tylko on działa odwrotnie. Przy odpalonym silniku nie działa a przy wyłączonym działa. To może być to samo? Pozdrawiam.
Car fixed. Horn works and all steering controls.
After cleaning contacts the horn and RHS steering controls still did not work.
A forum post suggested unscrewing the buttons on stwering wheel for volume etc. As the RHS was still inoperative I tackled this.
You need
T20 to unscrew bolt from behind steering wheel.
Thin flat screwdriver or wiggle / pull audio control out steering wheel. I had a garage already replace these a few yrs ago with new. I replaced new with old one after tugging cables. Plugged in old one.
Result - horn works all time with lights on / off and with dash rheostat bright/ dim. RHS audio controls work flawlessly along with LHS.
Battery drain of 150mA has gone. I checked this 10min before and left for 40mins - no change.
After effecting this repair the voltage stays at .080A for 2mins then drops to 0.00A
Maybe connector earthing/grounding to negative? Tiny wires looked in good nick.
Worth a try.

I think Vauxhall should have done this video as it's there fault in the first place.👍nice video mate
Hi I have the same problem. Do you know what the part nr is please. Vauxhall don't know this when I asked for a CIM clip. Many thanks
I've got the CIM out, but mines got some moisture in there. Bigger concern for me is that there is no small code wheel, and one of the readers(?) on the black code reader isn't there (number 3 left to right).
Would love someone's help with this.
Ive just done this and works perfectly. I was having issues with the left indicator not working sometimes as well as the horn and steering wheel buttons and they all work well now.
Do you remember what you did for left indicator to start working again?
This is the same person on a new account. Think I just cleaned it and put it back together. Had to replace the CIM 18 months later anyway.
Hi, great video, very precise! I've used it to repair horn and ignition key not working from time to time. But now I can not calibrate the the steering angle sensor with OPCOM. SAS offset stays on 128 and when I press calibrate it's doing something then it stops and can not calibrate. Steering angle changes when I turn the wheel. Do you know maybe how to fix that?
Did you ever solve this mines done the same ?
Yes, finally did make it, the problem was the code- I had to input the code first.
@@DIY-up6us I have a problem that I can't calibrate the SAS, after starting the calibration, basically nothing happens. OP-COM does not ask me for a carpass or do I still have to enter it before I start calibrating?
Can’t thank you enough for this , works perfectly now , great video !!
One of the best videos ever made thank you keep up the good work
Hey buddy , does this also work for the corsa C 2008?
You a star! Happened on my 1.8 Astra and on my current VXR. Going to try this one weekend :)
Most important part is to disconnect the batterie... dont work on a airbag when the batterie is still connected!!!!!!!!
No matter
@@modrzey_ it DOES matter
@@marek4882 for what?
@@modrzey_ for broken nose
if the ign os off it does not need to disconnect the battery
Kind off did everything accordingly, but in the end the horn doesn't work even with lights off.. Did take it apart one more time, and cleaned again, will see what happens now. Do anyone have some ideas what could be the problem?
UPDATE: After second cleaning and reinstalling - everything works! You are the best! Can't thank you enough!
Martins Duboviks faulty horn it’s self
Thanks for this video. I have a turn signal problem on my vectrA C ( and is not form the lamps), so Ihave to do it like you ( clean and solder).
Вы большой молодец, спасибо вам огромное, благодаря вам все сделал все работает, спасибо!!!
Witam. Mam pytanie, czpo tej czynności serwisowej ponownie trzeba ustawić czujnik skrętu kierownicy?.
Thank You very much mate ! You helped me to fix the problem ! Thanks again and regards from Italy !
Czy po złożeniu muszę podpiąć pod komputer żeby zainicjować poduszkę na nowo czy ona jest aktywna ?
Thanks ...Worked well, the only thing now is my High Beams don't seem to work anymore...Bugger
Yeah with mine also and the rear wiper also dont work nd after a test drive horn fails again.
And i even soldere the connector with wires.
I guess its more than just that tiny connector
Thank you very much, just fixed my horn with it. It had exactly the same problem!
Hi all. I dont have issues with the horn while any light are on etc but seems that when I full lock the steering left it fails. I can most of the time get it working again by full locking to the right. My MOT is due in 3 weeks so need to fix it asap. Is this still a CIM issue or is it a wiring loom issue? Thanks
Is this method works for the car won't start problem too?
Can you get to the contacts without removing the cogs?
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL...FIXED HORN IN HALF HOUR,MANY THANKS
Dobry i konkretny film. Bardzo mi pomógł.
Question for anyone.
When it comes to the airbag part. Is there any danger or the airbag deploying when removing it in this way?
I'd rather not have an airbag /screwdriver combo in close proximity
Remove negative from the battery every time you work on the car!
Can a cim cause problems with imobilisser . Like cim not reading the key
You get sorted guese have same issue i do? Got 3 keys wont read any
Could this same method work on fixing faulty cruise control?
Min 6:39... al desmontarlo no marque la posición por al abrir lo cayó sola la pieza esa, como puedo saber en qué posición iba? Ahora el coche me da código error esp en el tablero.
Lo solucionaste?? Me paso lo mismo, y a mí me marca siempre ángulo del volante 0... Gracias !!
@@Vladik1999 have you find a solution ?
Awesome video worked for me. But after about 1 year the horn is nog working anymore (Astra H 2004) I think I will fix it by soldering as you suggest.
My horn dosnt seem to be working when the light or either on or off, could it still be the CIM please anyone know need help
Hello guys, I wanted to ask you a question, for a few days the instrument panel of my car has not turned on. The lights stay on, the light switch does not respond and the fog lights do not go either, the radio light is also off. Otherwise the car starts well, the radio works, also the horn and everything else ... What could it be? Thanks.
lux, mam nadzieję, że moje poduszki w końcu zasną.
Did you remove + and - leads from accumulator before repair ?
On my Astra H , I here clicking when turning steering wheel to the left side ?
I haven't disconnected the accu before repair but people here recommend to disconnect it. I've never hear unwanted clicking coming from steering wheel.
So technically i dont need to remove the big codewheel either just to clean the connectors for the faulty horn right? Since they are exposed as soon as you take off the cover?
In my Zafira 08 horn failed just recently. Thing is that turning lights on or off doesnt influence horn, it seems that it starts and stops working just randomly (For example on auto lamp - do not work, on off - do not work, on lamps on - work). Contact local dealers, they told me that issue with the horn under recall was fixed in my car back in 2011. Im wondering to di this fix, but i do not know is worth the trouble and will it help?
My horn turns my volume up on the radio. Will this fix that too. Thanks
Mine newly bought Astra H EcoFlex 2009 likes to do that too!
@@janissilis1707 I fixed mine. Loosen the steering wheel knob. And just go ape on it back and forward 😂 it fixed mine 💪
Widzę film konkret, można spokojnie rozbierać. U mnie też występuje problem z klaksonem (astra h z 2008), zaczęło się niedawno i teraz niestety coraz częściej sygnału nie ma.Nie występuje tu zależność włączonych lub wyłączonych świateł. Od początku natomiast tj. od kupna przeze mnie tego samochodu, nie działa regulacja oświetlenia zegarów. Raz udało mi się "pobawić" a następnym razem nie działało.
Wg informacji dla serwisów opla, samochód podlegał akcji serwisowej ale nie wiem czy ją odwiedził. Właśnie przymierzam się do sprawdzenia czy jest spinka na CIM, poźniej trzeba będzie rozważyć ewentualny demontaż modułu. Pozdrawiam.
SEI GRANDE. Video instructor utilissima spiegato abbastanza bene .trovo il tempo e lo provo
witam, jaki cel mają "zabiegi" ukazane między 6:40 - 7:15 ? nie można jak na filmie z ruclips.net/video/MMKqq8tVtQQ/видео.html ?? czy to rozwiązanie działa również na zbyt szybko wyłączający się jeden kierunkowskaz i rzadko występujące odpalanie samochodu za drugim razem?
Jeśli chodzi o oznaczenie położenia kółek przed ich demontażem, to jest to potrzebne, gdyż umieszczenie ich w innej pozycji spowoduje niedziałanie modułu lub uniemożliwi jego poprawne złożenie. Jeśli chodzi o ściąganie białego kółka to jest to zupełnie zbędne tak jak to zaznaczyłem w filmie. W przytoczonym konkurencyjnym filmie zastosowano rozwiązanie, które również proponuję w 8:19, i które wg mnie będzie lepsze niż czyszczenie styków. Niestety nie wiem na jakiego innego rodzaju awarie usuwa ta metoda naprawy.
Witam codo kierunkowskazow jesli demontazu dokonales na skreconych kolach to mozna to popierdolic zawsze na prostych kolach i ja bym osobiscie odlaczyl baterie zeby blad z poducha nie wyskoczyl a codo problemu z zapalaniem/zadkim odczytem immobilizera sa dwa piny na plycie on immo ringa i u mnie jeden sie poluzowal i trzeba bylo go zlutowac spowrotem do plytki. Dziex za zajebisty filmik pomugl. Ps. Ale hujowo ta podoche sie zdejmuje masakra srubki owiele latwiejsze
I got similar problem, my high beam works only when I'm using stick for blinking but I'm not able to turn it on, only blinking is possible. Do you think that CIM module is causing this problem? Thanks
Hi all, I have same problem with horn, and have followed this tutorial at the end, but problem was not on connectors described in this tutorial. Actually it is in connector where air bag is, @3,17 , copper one circle shape on the left. Just freeze the video at 3.18 min, and you will see it. After scratched it with screw, my horn worked emediatly, no matter if lights are on or off.
Could i fix the cruise speed with the same opening technique and finding out what is wrong in there? Most likely oxidation i believe cuz it works sometimes
Hello,
I have the same problem with the horn like you, I followed your steps watching the video and now horn works well. But after that light for ESP is always on. Do you know what the problem is?
Hi,
I believe that ESP uses data collected from steering wheel angle sensor so you may need to dissasemble CIM and check whether you have assembled everything correctly. Pay special attention to the positioning marks 4:16 and 4:28. Examine the internals of the CIM, especially the sensor consisting of metal disc with holes and read head equipped with infrared diodes looking at the holes in the mentioned metal disc. Check if codewheel (metal disc) is placed in the exact same place as it was before disassembling. I think it is possible to rotate the thing 4:37 several times (a way more than 360deg) so maybe at the assembling time you rotated it e.g. in wrong direction. In summary just make sure everything was put in the exact same place and position as it was before disassembly. Nothing more comes to my mind... Please leave feedback if you find the solution!
agreed, your esp is on because the steering angle sensor is off by more than 15 degrees, which means you put it back together out of alignment, the gold disc is tied in with the steering angle, and tells the esp the angle of the steering, so the car knows if its out of control, this also happens when the wheel alignment is out.
I dont have a problem with my horn but my signal lever keeps cutting out on its own, and I replaced the turn signal lever twice with the switch built it. Could this be the problem or just something like a flasher relay?
