lol

could be the connectors in the wheel

you need to remove the airbag to have a good look

disconnect battery
turn wheel to 90 degrees (might want to do this BEFORE)
use a screwdriver / allen key and put it in the hold on the back of the wheel - you'll feel it with your fingers and release the clip
turn wheel 180 degrees and repeat - this will release the airbag

can't help you any further than that though  :sad:
