Likely to be the Steering slip ring or the ribbon cable. If it is the slipring or ribbon cable, then airbag/steering wheel needs to be removed to fit a new slipring/ribbon cable.

Unfortunately, from my experience, it is a b!tch of a job to remove that airbag - I damaged my steering wheel in the process and had to replace the steering wheel
