Radio on kangoo column controls not working

check fuses and relays connections--check column harness wiring / connections with a meter --clockspring failure--switch failure

Have you done anything to troubleshoot, such as pulling the radio and checking for power to the appropriate wires? Is this the original radio or is it an aftermarket radio? Have you considered installing an aftermarket radio? You could probably pick up an inexpensive aftermarket radio for less than finding a good original radio if you're comfortable with doing the wiring and installation. But even if you go the aftermarket route you'll want to confirm the correct voltages are getting to the radio and that the grounds are good.

the wiring from the wheel controls may have come loose at a connector so i'd try making sure all connetors are pushed home , even behind radio , have you had any work done recently to the vehicle ?

there is what is called a clock switch located under the steering wheel that must have went kaput. it is what transfers the signal to the steering column.

Try pulling the audio fuse out for at least 10 seconds and then plug it back in and see if that helps. Doing this resets the radio sometimes they "lock up"

Do you know what U code's are for ? How did you pull this code ? There is no U0155 , U code's start at

The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data line. The serial data line is the means by which the microprocessor-controlled modules in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the scan tool is connected to the class 2 serial data line through the DLC, the scan tool can be used to monitor each module for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 kbps. This value is an average; class 2 uses a variable pulse width modulation to carry data and depending on the message it may operate faster or slower. The bus will float at a nominal 7 volts during normal operation. Each module can pull this lower during the transmission. The bus is not at battery positive voltage or ground potential during normal operation. When the ignition switch is in RUN, each module communicating on the class 2 serial data line sends a state of health (SOH) message every 2 seconds to ensure that the module is operating properly. When a module stops communicating on the class 2 serial data line, for example, if the module loses power or ground, the SOH message it normally sends on the data line every 2 seconds disappears. Other modules on the class 2 serial data line, which expect to receive that SOH message, detect its absence; those modules in turn set an internal DTC associated with the loss of SOH of the non-communicating module. The DTC is unique to the module which is not communicating; for example, when the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) SOH message disappears, several modules set DTC U1088. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not normally represent a failure of the module that set it.

Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop.

should not be an issue. the wiring connector for the radio control is on a seperate wiring harness, and will just be left abandoned. all the other wiring should be the same. good luck!

check to see if it is geting power and if it is then get a new one

clock spring in the steering column is my guess. They are delicate and have to do with anything in the steering wheel like airbag, horn, or anything that is operated by buttons on the wheel. These wires have to turn constantly with the steering wheel and the "clock spring" goes bad often enough

if the connector is the same then you should be able to use it however it may require programming
