TurboDog Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hi all! I have a 92 vert with the 3.1, and the steering wheel controls do not work. Fuses all look good, and I even replaced the center pad with an identical one from a cutlass at the junkyard, but still nothing. I'm now thinking ECM, but I'm not sure if that could be the problem. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 the SWRC don't interface with the ECM at all. being a 92, however, i would expect there to be a module near the column that is used to translate the pulsed signal into something the radio can directly use. the later ones use a variable resistance and go directly to the radio, but the 88-93(maybe 94 for the CS?) use an encoded signal that uses a "translator" box between the radio and SWRC.

cutlassdude96 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 are you still running the stock radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboDog Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 are you still running the stock radio? Yes. Actually, the car came without the radio ( I bought it used) but I grabbed one from a similar vehicle at the junkyard. It's a basic AM/FM cassette radio.

ManicMechanic Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 The SWRC will not work with a basic stereo. You need the upscale radio for them to work. I am assuming that by "basic", you mean this style. You will need this: or: The above is also available with an EQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboDog Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yeah, the top one looks close to what I have. Can you tell me or show me what I need to have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 You will need the bottom radio. With cassette and equalizer or a factory CD player unit. Someone on the board has a CD one for a CS for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Escobar Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Sorry to bring back this from the dead, but does anyone know if the steering wheel controls still work when the stock radio is swapped out for an aftermarket radio with the steering wheel adapter?

crazyd Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Yes, it can still work with an adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
