Help...Any Ideas?

[jsb_swampfox]

Recently my cruise control, horn and the lumination of the cruise control buttons have stopped working. I have checked all fuses, nothing is blown, not sure how to check relays though. I even pulled off the center part of the steering wheel to check for a loose connectors or something of the like. It,s driving me crazy trying to figure this out. Any help from you all would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!!!!

You might have a broken clockspring. The clockspring is the flexible switch that allows wheel-mounted controls (horn, CC, etc...) to keep working as you turn the wheel and it's known to be somewhat fragile.

thanks, I will check that out. Is that the white plastic piece inside the streering wheel?

No idea--I've never had my wheel off. You do have to be careful since to R/R the clockspring you have to remove the airbag module and any static discharge could conceivably fire the airbag, hence causing you much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

had the clock spring checked...its fine continuity checked out to the connectors under the dash on all the wires...very confused now
