D3 lights on the steering wheel goes on and off

The lights on the steering wheel of my D3 goes on and off depending on the angle of the steering wheel.

The radion buttons and the cruize control still works even if the lights are off.

Does anyone know what could be the problem, or does anyone have a guide in order to fix this?

Thanks

Sounds most likely a "clock spring" (rotary coupler) fault.

It's a coiled up foil circuit strip at the back of the steering wheel that connect the moving parts on the wheel to connectors on the column.

If you do a search for - "+clock +spring" (without the quotes,) there's plenty of info about it on here. Clive
