Steering Wheel Volume Control Fail - Maybe

Before I call the dealer, just wonder if there is something I can check. Ive lost the Volume up portion of the steering wheel volume control. Have not spilled anything on it that I know of. Volume down and all the other buttons work fine.

Anyone had one go ?

Cue Eerie Twilite zone music.

On my hour commute home yesterday I had turned the radio off and on many times hoping that would reset it.

Started truck and heading out on the freeway not thinking I just turned the radio up and lo and behold it worked.

Now what ?

Mine quits working sometimes. No rhyme or reason. I have to turn the key off and back on to get it to work again.

It started after I installed the new speakers.

I've had the same issue with my cruse control. It has happened about 4 times since I got the truck. The cruse icon on the dash will go to green but it won't engage (truck slows down when I let off the accelerator). It always resets with a cycle of the key.

The stering wheel controls on my last 2011 f250 would sometimes quit working while driving and always reset on the next startup. One of the many reasons I traded!

DO NOT SPRAY ELECTRICAL CONTACT CLEANER IN IT.

It melts the plastic badly.

As smart of an idea as it might sound like, DO NOT DO IT.

Who's got a wiring diagram? Are the keypads just resistance grids with different resistances for each button? That saves on wiring, so I'm guessing that's what is used for those controls. That would be a good test to identify or rule out one side.

This has happened to me several times since I have had my 11. Always works after a restart.
