02 explorer steering wheel controls not working

Just purchased this vehicle. The cruise control and radio controls On the steering wheel will not work. It has aftermarket stereo , not sure if wiring from that would affect cruise control as well as radio controls. Cruise light does not even light on dash. Clockspring? Radio wiring harness?

The aftermarket radio should not cause the cruise buttons to not work, but another wiring issue or a clockspring issue could explain that. You'll need to do some more troubleshooting to figure out what else is wrong.

Thanks rod. I will ohm the brake pressure switch, and check radio wiring to see if I can get either to work. If not, I'll change clock spring.
