Can someone out there help? The right button on the back of my steering wheel decided to stop working last night. Only noticed when resetting trip computer atfer filling her up. Anyone know a fix for this?

I think it might be the ribbon connection in the steering column - a Ford part I think.

Shane,
same problem with mine, but came up as a 154 fault. The buttons are wired through to a block connector, at the end of the rack behind the steering wheel boss. On mine the wire has slightly bared as it passes behind the horn. You can check this by removing the steering wheel and examining the wire as it exits the groove in the plate that the two buttons sit in. If not could be a faulty switch or connector block. If you are competent at wiring should not be a problem or an auto electrician should have no problem, although I am not sure where the switches are sourced from. The block connector is Ford.
