Default Did I accidentally disable controls on steering wheel?

Most of the steering wheel controls on my 2011 4-door Rubi stopped working. I noticed it this morning when starting up & going to work. I think the only one that still works is the one that turns cruise control on/off). The others - reset, cycle through mpg/temp/etc, change channel/volume, etc. - are dead. Is there a lock function that I inadvertently hit?

Update: Problem solved. Pulled / inspected / re-inserted every fuse. No bad fuses but problem went away. Probably either a fuse that wasn't seated properly, or a software glitch that was reset by pulling fuse.

Does "Steering wheel controls on a Jeep Wrangler" sounds weird to anyone else.

Not really. My "steering wheel controls" where my Jeep goes...

But that doesn't help the original poster though... Check your manual? Sounds like a flakey or loose harness connection to me.

I had those creature comforts on my 99 Grand Cherokee... but I have to say I never would have thought that I would have electric windows either...

Happy you figured it out. I hope it does not happen to me...

I seem to remember that you used to have to get out to lock your wheels in 4 wheel drive. Keep the comforts coming!!!
