EVIC issues?
 
Hey guys the buttons on my steering wheel that control the EVIC electronic vehicle information center have just stopped working. Has anyone else had this issue? And if so any ideas on how to fix it?

Have you checked your fuses?
It may be a loose connector in the steering column asembly

I have the "cheap" info center on the Express and had this happen once. I gassed up and wanted to reset the trip meter and the display was just stuck on that mode. Tried shutting truck off and restarting and nothing? Next morning it was working fine and hasn't happened again???

Yesterday it was raining and the display was just blank? I pushed the buttons and nothing, truck off/on and nothing. Just went to work. Got out and it was fine? It was on a different display than it usually was on so the buttons worked but the display just wasn't showing anything.

Hate to bring it to the dealer for such a little thing but.....

Sorry I wasn't any help but wanted you to know you aren't alone!

Your problem would point to a bad elec connection. Never hurts to use a little dielectric grease on the connection when plugging it back in.

from what it sounds like, this is something I can just unplug and plug back in? Is this connector easy/simple to find? Thanks for the help

If the EVIC is lit up, likely the problem might be a faulty clockspring

everything is working on the EVIC, just can't use the buttons on the steering wheel to scroll up or down or select anything.

Then that would point to the clockspring that LU is talking about. Does your cruise control work?

Unplug the clock spring harness, then plug it back in to see if anything changed.
If it still does the same thing, you`ll likely need the clock spring replaced.

Also, food for thought...
has anyone worked on the truck recently..???
has anyone previously installed any aftermarket electronic items..???

im also having the same issue where the buttons for the Evic on my steering wheel wont work or sometimes i would be able to press down and it would move but then stop working. Where is the clock spring harness located ?

or it could be the switch bank

Hey this is to follow up with buttons not working, that controls your EVIC centre cluster. I bought a USED 2016 Grand Caravan crew and after 6mths I noticed little things like the EVIC centre cluster would completely stop working for a bit then work again. I think it’s to do with the fuse as One person has mentioned. But you would need to flash the CPU using a Scan tool or there’s another way you can drain the power from the system without frying your computer 😊👍🏿 Goodluck

Have you found a fix? I'm having the same issue. The right arrow to switch from MPH to km/h works but the up and down don't. Mine is a brand-new '22 Classic. Trying to see if I could avoid a trip to the dealer.

No, issue still exists but I did One thing I changed out my fuses that relayed to the cluster and it seems to have worked best but every so often it will stop but mine maybe link to the fuse box issue I read shortly after that said I need a new fuse box and fuse setup. But since you got a 2022 you shouldn’t have fuse box issues but maybe testing your fuse and swapping it out might help. Good luck 🤞

Thanks for the reply.

I figured out why my up and down buttons weren't responding. I have to hit the back arrow first before I can switch the EVIC pages. It works differently than the HD truck that I'm used to.

Hope you can get yours resolved too.
