The horn & steering wheel controls are not working, airbag light is NOT on.

VCDS scan shows:

Steering column control module
u0212 no communciations - intermittent

I have replaced the clock spring, with no change. I this has been replaced previously because there was a missing screw. The part number in the car & the one I replaced it with are both 5K0 953 549 B , is it possible this is the incorrect part number? according to below rosstech link it seems correct (the car has cruise & multifunction wheel etc.)

any suggestions?? all other column features work, wipers/ signals etc.

It could either be the control module that's behind the airbag in the center of the steering wheel that the steering wheel buttons plug into, or the module under the steering column that the clockspring plugs into.

I just replaced the module in the steering wheel with no change. I'm not aware of another module behind the clock spring?

got a picture/ part number?
