Default Steering wheel radio control problem - 95 SLE

Does this car have a fuse or anything that is strictly for the steering wheel radio controls?

I don't see anything listed in the owner'* manual fusebox diagram, but that seems to be the only item on the whole car that doesn't work at all...No biggie, but if it isn't an "involved" repair, I'd like it to work if possible...

Thanks in advance.

it isn't really very hard.

Actually I have an extra set of switches if you feel that you are mechanically inclined enough to unhook the battery and pull the 4 torx on the back of the steering wheel then 4 small screws...I'd consider putting the spare set of controls together and testing them. PM me if you are interested.

Got it.

To update you guys. None of his controls are working at all. He is going to pull the radio and look for resistance in the wire. Then if necessary pull the controls and check them and the wire leading to the radio.

Between the heat, humidity and work I haven't had the urge to check it yet...
