As I understand it (so this is probably wrong) the comms to the steering wheel is essentially two wires, each button then has a resistor on it that 'shorts' the two wires that are of different values. The SAM sees the 'short' and works out the resistance and does the appropriate thing....
I would imagine the transmission to the wheel is via a contact ring and a central connection
Correct on both accounts
Also its worth knowing that the horn is in the same circuit/loop. If the paddles play up again try the horn.
Check the connectors to the back of the wheel they could of worked them self lose (would advise disconnecting the battery for 10mins 1st)
IIRC there is 2 connectors to the back of the wheel its the black one for paddles and horn (red is airbag)
