Why is the steering wheel not working on my Dodge Ram?

I noticed at night, the lights on both sides of the controls were going on and off as I turned the wheel. Thought I was going crazy. Horn, radio controls on both sides, instrument cluster buttons, heated steering wheel and voice control don’t work. Oddly enough the cruise controls still work.

Where does the radio control go on a steering wheel?

The wires that control the radio from the steering go to the Body Control Module (BCM), not directly to the radio. The BCM sends data over the serial bus to the radio. You can’t post conmments that contain an email address. If this is the lights for the switches in the steering wheel, these are LED’s.

There is probably a wiring harness that is loose, probably in the steering wheel itself. Took it into the dealer today, paid $125 for a diagnostic and $125 for a “fix”. They pulled a code from the ‘lin bus’? (there were no indications of anything on the evic). That resulted in them replacing fuse 49, a 10 amp fuse for the ICS/HVAC.
