1st stop would be fuses

2nd the ribbon cable

Pop the TVR badge off the center of teh steering wheel (this may involve undoing the allen Key bolts and pushing the badge off from the inside, if so push it off and shove the allen bolts back in again)

Undo the big nut in the middle, not all the way because you are gonna have to wiggle the steering wheel complete with Boss off

Once steering wheel is off take the mother of all cables from the PCB board on the back of the steering wheel

Unclip the cable from the Connector left at the steering column

Plug new one in and test buttons

If they work, grand!!! If not start following the cabels

Mine bust a month or so ago and I am still trying to find the fault, I have changed everything apart from the Control unit (which is on order)

The strange thing is I am enjoying doing all this, not many cars where you can tinker quite happily like this.... the car is fine so I am happy to do this work and it makes my drive look pretty

Hope you get it fixed soon mate

If you haven't got another cable to check, use a meter and check continuity. It may look okay but looks can be deceptive!

Good luck
