I would check the buttons on the stalk usng a multi-meter - I have about 3 or 4 that are all faulty on one button or  another.
Any chance you could give quick run down on the process, have multi meter

Out of interest looking at 8 scrap Omegas 2 items semed to be popular, light switch units and cruise stalks.  new stalk not as bad as I thought £56.76 all in, but would like to confim it is u/s first, the previous post about having 3 that have faulty switches makes me think that could be it.

The cruise buttons can be tested from the the 4-pin plug on the end of the additional "fly lead".

The plain black wire is the common and the other three are the signal wires.  Use your voltmeter in resistance or diode mode and test between the black wire and each of the others in turn (pressing the buttons to check that one of them completes the circuit).

It's usually the "I" button that's dead.

If you Elite an MV6, does that make it an MVee-leet?

A quick search on ebay for part number 9181011 reveals several new ones for sale around the £25 mark - I presume yours is petrol cos the BMW 2.5 TD engine may require a different part.

Thanks Rob for that.  Done a check and to complete the circuit I had to press I % R thta gave a readin but O as soon as the probe touched gave a reading, now to me whos vast amount of elecronic knowledge can be written on a postage stamp indicates thta it is always off thus not allowing the system to be on.  Thoughts please.
