If you notice that the steering wheel controls in your Hyundai Santa Fe are not functioning, it could be a sign of a common issue known as a clock spring failure. This occurs when a spring located behind the steering wheel fails to establish a connection between the steering column and the contact strips on the wheel that correspond to the buttons you press. Typically, the SRS light or airbag indicator may illuminate when this happens, but not in every case. It is important not to attempt to address this problem yourself as it could accidentally deploy the airbag. It is recommended to have a local auto shop with the proper equipment inspect this for you. While there will be a diagnostic fee, which typically is about an hour's worth of labor, some shops may offer a discounted rate for diagnostics if you kindly inquire about it.
