2004 Factory radio

I want to add steering wheel controls. What do I need beside the switches, as I have already installed them and plugged them into the clock spring but they still don't work.

Did the clockspring have ALL of the required pins?

 

[ROGER GRIMES]

yes, from what I can see on e-bay they only have one that fits.

Does your truck have the overhead console and/or RKE? Usually plugging the steering wheel switches in works if you have a premium BCM in the PCI bus vehicles.

 

[ROGER GRIMES]

yes, I have the overhead console and RKE.

Oh by the way I have a RBQ 6 disk radio that I added like 10 years ago

I asked a friend of mine who did this to his Ram years back, he referred me to a write up he used; basically one step different from the Jeeps. Seems the Jeeps had better pre-installed wiring. There's a harness that needs to go to the back of the cluster. Doesn't look hard to do but probably a mild PITA. Check your PM's.
