Default All controls on my steering wheel doesnt work! Help!

After my motor build and all was completed I ran into a problem. Everything is plugged up and now none units on my steering wheel works. (horn, cruise control, and stereo control) I was wondering if anyone else ran into this similar problem or knows how to fix it. I checked all the fuses and they were good. Any feedback would be great! I have an 06 touring.

I have the same problem, i think its the spiral cable. When you remove the engine and disconnect the steering wheel coupler (forget its name) and the spiral cable get twisted more than it should, it stops transfer the signals to the buttons.

Sorry if I didn't make any sense (posting from my phone)

Yup, he is talking about the clock spring....I had the same thing happen to me. You can not just set it back to its original location if it is damaged. Most of the time the wires get over extended during a turn if it is not installed right and the cables tend to get broken inside.
