If the steering wheel controls on your 2017 Ford F-250 aren't functioning, there are several possible reasons to consider. The clock spring located behind the steering wheel (which requires removing the wheel to access) might be failing, as it transmits power and signals to all the functions on the wheel. You could also have a faulty fuse, though this would likely cause complete loss of steering wheel functionality. Another possibility is a poor connection to the data lines for the control buttons. The body control module may not be sending or receiving the digital signals from the buttons to the radio. Lastly, the buttons themselves may be faulty. As you can see, troubleshooting this issue may be challenging, but a good starting point would be to check the fuses.
If the steering wheel buttons aren't functioning in the 2017 Ford F250, it is likely due to a wire burning out or the buttons becoming loose.
