Hello

Do you meant the stalk? It is part of the COM2000, often called the 'stalks under the steering wheel'

Yes, if they are broken, you can sometimes get parts or replace the complete unit after finding one that matches yours.


remove the steering wheel (instructions) to remove and replace the COM2000.

'Not working' = broken

Same thing :)

There are no electrical contacts in the stalk (pillar) of the Mk1 COM2000.
All of the contacts are on the PCB inside the the unit.
WD40 would not harm.
Strange.
