Opel Astra H 04r: Horn, Radio, CIM Rollers Malfunction with Dipped Beam Headlamps On

Question

Hello.
For some time I have a problem in my car with no horn signal. Also, the radio and CIM rollers do not work sometimes. I noticed that this condition occurs with the dipped beam headlamps on, while the off-car trumpets normally. Has anyone had a similar problem before? Someone can help solve the problem?

Dim the backlight of the meter and indicators, it should work, yes I do. A tape or connector is to blame. Apparently a factory defect.

marcov · Answer

The most common reason is CIM.

What does it mean? It needs to be replaced, can it be repaired?

ak44 · Answer

They put some clamps on the connectors and the problem goes away. The steering wheel buttons are backlit and this somehow interferes with the buttons. Tinted often helps.

I will take care of it this autumn, with other repairs. For now, I dimmed and the keys work.

It can be repaired.

I found information on this subject on the internet, I don't remember where. There was a fault described there, also that darkening helps.

It helped me, I left the topic until autumn. A mechanic's son will come and we'll try to grasp the subject.

Added after 2 [minutes]:

From what I remember, this is a poor contact between the tape and the socket, and it helps to attach the socket clamp.

The CIM clip rarely helps. GM saved himself this way but often it didn't help much.

dimming the clocks helps but you need to choose the right setting (trial and error method) set so that the trumpet works. in my Astra it was almost invisible daylight on lvl.

what to repair and remove ASO offered me a new CIM module because it rubs the tape, cost PLN 1,500, on the cord you can find around PLN 100 but without guarantee that the problem will disappear

CIM disassembled from another car will not work in a new one without cleaning and programming VIN, immo, PIN, ... Old CIM can and should be regenerated without any problems. Opel Dealership was conducting service action 10-R-036 until 31.12.2012 - regarding CIM and sporadic malfunction of the sound signal. At the moment, the clip is no longer available at the Dealership. It only helped with the horn fault ... For other CIM problems, the clip does not help. Only regeneration.

o you see well know for the future each of the 3 workshops in which I was offered to exchange me, but I had to find CIM alone on some other .. szrot etc. because they gave no guarantee. or how my fault won't work I will remember thanks btw for me at the present moment (tfu tfu) after darkening the clocks the problem stopped

Bartekas · Answer

I also had a problem with the horn and the operation of the steering wheel buttons. I replaced the CIM module at ASO for a lot of money. Now, when I turn on the turn signals, there is no characteristic "ticking". And the situation from a moment ago, some car got in my way, I pressed the horn automatically and ..... nothing !!!! CIM exchange was in July !!!!!
I will go to the ASO, but ... How should I explain it ?! A few days ago during the review, despite the lack of "ticking", the horn worked.
