WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL IT SQUEAKS. IT SOUNDS LIKES THE LEATHER IS RUBBING AGAINST LEATHER. I’VE SPRAYED WD40 WHICH DOESN’T HELP?

The squeak might be coming from the clock spring located behind the steering wheel.

The clock spring is what allows the electrical connections between the air bag, horn, and cruise control on the rotating steering wheel and the wiring harness in the steering column.
