My radio(non bose) only works from the steering wheel controller….It does not light up nor do any of the buttons work on the actual unit, I can change channels and volume from the steering wheel though…..any ideas.
Is this a good question?

This is actually as strange as it sounds a problem with the clock spring in the steering column. The problem will be in the ground on the clock spring . You will find 2 grounding wires on the backside of the clock spring . One is for the radio and the other is for the other controls on the steering wheel . This one is now actually grounding the stereo and as a result the unit itself is not grounded. The only grounding the stereo has no is a cheater from the cruise control . Replacing the clock spring doesn’t help you will need to replace the harness that comes into the clock spring up the steering column. Or you can solder the ground if your handy with a soldering iron . Hope this helps
