Hi all

Regarding my post previous.
Is there anyway to check a W204 Slip ring in place? I have power to the column end (as wipers and indicators work)

I have airbag light on and no reaction from any steering wheel controls. The steering angle sensor is working correct.

Im guessing I may have power to the in side of the ring but nothing to the “out” side.
As the airbag light is on anyway. Can I remove airbag and check for a live anywhere?

I think modern cars no longer use slip rings. Pretty sure it's all clock spring these days.
