OKCEM2

Back story. Had an aftermarket steering wheel installed for years. Removed to put back to stock. Reinstalled clockspring and all necessary components. No cruise, no horn and the cruise switch does not illuminate and no cruise. Is there a secondary fuse or relay controlling this? There is no audible click of horn relay from the fuse box either. What am i missing? Thx in advance

No relay for the horn, maybe you shorted out the horn wire and you just need to replace the fuse?

OKCEM2

Thx for the response. Fuse is good. Swapped relays. No go. Just strange that both cruise and horn do not work. Even the cruise switch on the dash does not light up to signal power. I’ll try and diagnose more tomorrow.

I have access to the electrical schematic for the horn and CC circuit on AllData and thought I could be of help...

If you own a 4-door, there is a fuse that is upstream of both these circuits. It is the No. 7 fuse. It is a 15A fuse and is located in the Under-hood Fuse/Relay Box.

Hope this helps But if that is the HORN fuse then nevermind.

Well, I'll let you look for yourself

OKCEM2

Appreciate the help. Basically stock coupe with minor mods

After looking at both schemtatics (2-dr vs 4-dr) and comparing, they're pretty much the same. So the attached schematic above should be accurate enough for your purposes.

Let us know if you figure it out.

Probably broke the clockspring.

OKCEM2

Thx for the responses fellas. I haven’t gotten back to the issue because I’ve been putting the front end back together. I hope to get the multimeter to it tomorrow if the rain stays away.

The clockspring should be fine because it was taken off and stored in a box until now. However anything is possible. I’ll check continuity and everything. Thx again

If the clockspring is removed you have to be very careful not to turn it at all. If you remove the clockspring, turn it a full revolution or two, then reinstall the clockspring will break when you turn your steering wheel in the same direction. Seems how it was removed in the first place I would find it very likely it is broken.

OKCEM2

I see. I realize the sensitivity of the unit. However I can’t be certain it wasn’t damaged. I’ll hunt for a new one. Would this likely be the source as to why the cc switch light doesn’t not illuminate? It seems to me that the switch will always have power. Just not the hand controls on the steering wheel due to a damaged clockspring. Thx again

From the schematic I see as long as fuse 4 is ok the cruise main switch should work though it is possible the bulb has burned out. Did you plug in all connectors in the steering wheel? Should be one for the airbag, one for the cruise buttons, and one for the horn. If the clockspring is broken I would expect your SRS light to be on as well, is it?

If you have a meter now would be the time to start checking continuity through the clockspring.

OKCEM2

Yeah all plugs are good. Everything is back to normal minus the function lol. SRS light is on but I do have aftermarket seats and harnesses, which will be converted back to stock before long. I can’t remember if the seat sensor plug trips the SRS.

Once the rain finally stops here in OKC I’m going to get the meter out. The whole state of OK is freaking flooded. So much rain it’s ridiculous...

BrotatoChip

Yes it does. I'm leaning towards a broken clockspring and a burned out main cruise indicator.

Join the club. My yard has had standing water every day this year lol.

This was my thought as well. I was thinking: Do you keep the switch ON all the time? If so, then there's a good chance that bulb is just burned out.

To test this, you could remove the CC switch from the driver's pocket, remove the lower socket/bulb (the one with green bulb cover), plug the switch back in and turn it ON, then measure the voltage at the two copper contacts. If there is voltage there then then it is working and the bulb just needs to be replaced.

If you need to replace the bulb, see my DIY here for more info:
