Does the cruise and horn work properly?
Clockspring is common for this problem. The actual switches are not.

 

Is it the OEM headunit? Usually you lose them with a aftermarket H/U unless you install an adapter which seemed to get mixxed reviews when I was looking at them. I ended up just leaving my steering wheel controls disconnected. I really did like them though so wouldn't have minded having them but wasn't paying that much for an adapter only half the people seemed to have good luck with. If I ever put my OEM radio back in I can hook them up.

 

Yes horn and cruise work fine, its OEM radio. What is clock spring?

It's the assembly between the steering wheel and the column.
It makes the electrical connection so you can still turn the wheel.

 

did I miss something? that looks like an import? or just a pic for reference?

 

What? Your ram don't look like that?
Just for reference I couldn't find a good Ram pic online.
As much as I like to help I didn't feel like tearing mine apart to take a pic...

 

There was a recall on these for the 2001 model year. Not sure about the 2000 model year.

 

sorry to hijack, but does anyone know where i can get a steering wheel with radio controls? I want to pick one up and get the adapter for my in-dash, but cant seem to find the actual steering wheel anywhere. What exactly does it look like? anyone have pics?
Thanks
