Steering column mounted radio controls
Hey folks,
Thanks to the existence of this forum, I was able to help my mechanic properly diagnose the torque converter problem my truck was having. After putting in a new TPS I'm back rolling smoothly!
Since that was a known issue with the truck, I'm wondering if anybody can help with another?
My 2001 1500 QC Sport Off Road has the steering column mounted radio controls....but they don't work.
Also, the key "halo" doesn't light, and I wonder if that's related?
Anybody ever have or know of any issues in the column that would cause this?

if im not mistaken the radio controls and the cruise controls are on two seperate plugs going into your column.. could be dirty plug or like was mentioned.. blown fuse.. but more likely a wire going into the plug has been shoved back where it isnt making contact.. hope that helped.. joe

yeah, this is a hand-me-down company truck, and the guy that I got it from (when it had 155k on it) didn't even know the radio buttons were there! The original window sticker says it has the options, I'll have to check around for some plugs under the dash. The backlight of the headlight switch has gone intermittent now too so that's another excuse...

Hey fiero guy, how was your truck acting up with a bad torque converter? what did you have to do to diagnose it? I suspect a little trouble with mine, any help would be much appreciated.
