Maybe Clock Spring?

I’ve read all of the other clock spring threads and my issues are similar to other people’s but not exact, so I want to be sure before I buy a clock spring.

All of the control buttons on the steering wheel don’t work at any angle I turn the wheel, but my horn button still works. Most others have their horn go out too, so I’m at a loss here.

Also, my paddle shifters will occasionally not work and the + and - won’t work with the stick either. On the cluster, It will stay in MS mode without going back to D. This happens about once every 2 weeks and will last a day or two before working again. I don’t believe this issue would be related to the clock spring, but you guys know more than me. Any ideas?

sounds more like a break in the wiring or a fuse blown, somewhere between the steering wheel controls and the paddles..how old is your car?...sometimes its gets brittle and cracks over time..check the wiring for conductivity...

Do you guys have any pictures or wiring diagrams of the wiring and fuses I’d be looking for? I’ve looked for fuses and I can’t find anything that looks like it relates to the buttons or paddles. My car is on 09 with 91k miles.
