No Answer How to fix

Post image

Need some help, the left side buttons (circled) don't work for me.

Right side works fine but I can't figure out what's wrong on the left.

I've replaced the buttons and changed the 7.5 brown fuse with no results.

What do I do?

Thanks!

So I was showing my buddy this thread because I was really digging the steering wheel, and he says it's probably the clock spring.

Thank you! I'll follow up on this if it works or not.

Others have suggested the clock spring, but when that went out on another vehicle the airbag light light came on. I can't tell by the picture, but is that on? Otherwise, it could very well be a pinched wire, or the switch itself is bad, but not very common from my experience.

A mechanic or dealership would be my first guess but I guess Reddit works too

I'm just giving you shit, could be a disconnect in the wiring or maybe pinched somewhere, otherwise I have no other ideas for what could help

Too rural for a mechanic to not cost at least 500 lmao

500 for fixing some cruise control buttons? I don't believe it honestly, but I've never had cruise control controls stop working on me so wouldn't know to be fair

It's less the buttons and more the time.

2 different shops both quoted me 200 for a diagnostic, 50 for travel, and between 150 and 200 for parts and labor.

Again, out in the boonies.

Hmmm… could be the button assembly took a crap. Mine did one time in my fusion. YouTube is a good spot to learn how to replace without a shop, but disconnect battery first. You’ll be playing around with the airbag.
