Hi,
Recently I got my car air-con evaporator replaced as it was leaking coolant gas. They pull the whole dash out to do it as the evaporator sits behind the dash and can't access from the engine bay.
Anyway, after I got the car back, the audio system control buttons on the steering wheel stopped working (it was working before I took the car to the shop). The horn and cruise control however worked fine.
I suspect they forgot to plug in something on the audio control. But the mechanic told me the controls on the steering wheel comes in 1 connector. If the horn and cruise control etc. are working, then the issue is a faulty part that they say will cost me around $500. Even though I told them it was working before, they say it is an old car and parts do break. At the moment, they are waiting for the guy who did the actual work to come back on holidays to advise, but they said it is unlikely he forgot something. It feels they don't seem want to take responsibility for it.
I am not very technically minded when it comes to cars. I wonder if anyone can advise if there is any truth in what the mechanic say, or am I taken for a ride? And any clue where the issue likely lie?
Thanks
