Technical Steering Wheel Controls not working - which fuse to pull?

[Joeuk2000]

Hi All

Just got a Panda 100hp, love it!

Quick question, the steering wheel controls stopped working on the way to work today. I started to dial someone in error, pressed the buttons and it got all confused. It isn't fitted with the Blue and Me.

As the car is second hand and I dont have the Fiat code key card, is it ok to just remove the battery connections? Will the car need some kind of code to start?

Was thinking probably easier just to pull the fuse... so I'd pull out the radio fuse, I do have the radio code.

Does any one know if the steering controls fused via any other circuit, as I guess I'd have to pull that one too

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated

Thanks

Joe

Just to say... Disconnected the radio for 10 seconds and seem to have sorted it

Sorry to resurrect this thread but the phone controls on my steering wheel have stopped working although the Bluetooth still connects fine and works through the radio from the phone controls, is this the best way to cure the problem?

I'd try disconnecting the battery. Worked wonders in many of my Fiat's in the past.
