i had a sony installed in my 1994 cutlass supream SL convertable, they told me the radio controls willnot work= come to find out neather does the airconditioning (go figure) they told me the ariconditioning runs through the radio, = Does it? wellthey told me it was a $75 + labor to install it AFTER they put the dash back together.... any one know if they are right? if the airconditioning controls do work through the factory radio?
No
The steering wheel controls are probably bad The only fuse is the radio fuse and if the radio works the fuse is OK Also if you do not have the original stereo, and your new stereo does not have a place to plug in those controls they will not work.

Go to Crutchfield.com and use the outfit my vehicle feature, if there is an interface available to adapt the steering wheel controls it would be there, also if you buy the head unit there the wiring harness adapter and dash kit are free so no cutting into the factory wiring. If it is too confusing use the phone number for a consultant and they will find what you need.
I recently replaced the factory radio in my 1999 EB Explorer and, while the new radio had a CD player in it, I lost the use of the 6 CD changer in the armrest. Also, if you have steering wheel controls or rear seat controls, you may need to also install an add on, assuming the radio has an infrared remote control, to enable these controls. I also did this and it works reasonably well.I used Crutchfield and they are very helpful in answering questions you may have - you should try that also.bntdcarr@comcast.net
There are a series of wires that run from the steering wheel controls to the radio. An electronic circuit could be used, to combine several controls into fewer wires.
The cruise and radio switches do not share a common fuse.
Not for a shark radio. If you buy a main brand radio, Alpine, Pioneer, Sony or Kenwood you can get adaptors to allow you to use your steering wheel controls and get your LCD working again. The leads are about
My 1989 has them. I love this feature.
It doesn't control anything. It is the connection for the cruise switches, horn switch, radio controls(if equipped) and airbag that allow the steering wheel to turn and there to still be a connection.
If the steering wheel has radio controls on the wheel, there could be a problem in the wiring. When the wires connect electrically it will cause stations to change.
From new they would have been controls for the radio. Volume, Station, Cd/Radio, etc. I
No.
No.
No
no u can look at your car manual and it tells u what fuse is for what i change fuese on my car all the time and i never see something the has to do with steering so no
The clockspring under the airbag is not connected or needs to be replaced! also the cruse control and radio controls in the steering wheel are probably not working
