audio steering control (randam dancing)

[thetwy]

hi, i have a 98 grand prix.. love the audio on the steering wheel but man can it drive you crazy!!!!! can someone give me some direction with what i might do ... it will change stations randomly and without any consisitancy.. at first i thought ok maybe its sensitive and i brushed by the steering wheel control.... NOPE!! i can have my hands off the wheel, around the wheel, the bottom of wheel, turning a corner, hitting a bump or even just sitting idleing(sp?) anyway, would love to keep the option if theres a simple fix, if not..... i have got to disable it.... im losing my mind...tks.... twyla

I'm far from an expert, but perhaps it's sticking or shorting out somewhere?

As with many aging Pontiac's, the OEM steering switch modules suffer from failing button switches resulting in the symptoms you are describing. I replaced my circuit boards and they are as good as new. PM me if you are interested in more info.
