Troubleshooting

Steering wheel does not lock into place.

Ensure the master spline is correctly aligned and the mechanism is free of debris. Check for any obstructions in the locking slots.

Difficulty releasing the steering wheel.

Check for dirt or damage in the release mechanism. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant if recommended by the manufacturer, and ensure the locking pins are fully retracted.

Verify all connections are secure on both the steering wheel side and the vehicle wiring harness. Consult the documentation for the Lemo connector and your steering wheel's electronics.
