2011 journey - steering wheel controls not working, wiper stays on, no turn signals

[patelajit]

All of a sudden, wiper started to stay on at all times, no turn signals, steering wheel controls (cruise, volume, computer buttons) do not work either.

There is a traction control light on for some reason.

 

To turn off the wipers temporarily, I took out the relay for wipers on/off from main fuse box.

 

About a year ago, I had the traction control light on and cruise control was not working. The stealership had replaced clock spring --> this fixed the cruise control and traction control light issue.  This apperas to be something different (or perhaps clock spring and something else since controls were working last time - except cruise control).

 

Has anyone experienced similar situation?  Any easy thing to check (all fuses appear to be fine, but I will check again).

Sounds like either the BCM or the  steering wheel wire loom.  I thought there was some discussion on this in the past.  Its not a fuse

How to diagnose if it is BCM or steering wheel wiring?

 

Earlier few days ago, the radio was all black so could not control climate control.  I changed few 15A fuses and it started working -- but the wiper, turn signal, traction control light issue is still there.

 

Thank you.

Try disconnecting the  battery for about 30 mins.  This should reset everything.  Taking the fuse out and putting it back is kinda doing the same thing.  By disconnecting the battery you reset everything.  Seems to fix alot of weird issues with the DJ.
