You could scan for DTC codes and check any connectors on the clockspring assembly, but chances are, your clockspring has expired.

They may interrupt one group of buttons, several or all steering wheel buttons and/or the horn or airbag.

There are many threads here at Ram Forum and tutorials on YouTube for changing the clockspring assembly. They don't look too difficult, and you'll save a significant amount by repairing yourself.

I had one replaced under warranty at the dealership last year, and saw the internal invoice of $1200.


And, welcome to Ram Forum. :cool:
