Since 530inOK gave you the fuse info, it may be simpler to check it first and reset second...

Hey John, I hope you get it sorted out, man. Sorry - I know nothing about this issue, but like Rudy, I think this is not a fuse issue and more having to do with resetting/module. Somehow, I have a feeling when you start her today, the buttons may just start working again... mine sometimes don't respond, but if I press second time a little firmer, they work fine - which leads me to believe the buttons themselves could be the issue too. Hey, a good reason to mod the steering wheel though

Actually, the reset fixed it. I tried it this morning when I started the car and "voila" the buttons work again. Thanks Rudy, OK, Calvin for your suggestions. It was a small but annoying issue.

Thanks Vlad, the reset did work. I won't be modding the steering wheel anytime soon - time for some performance mods first Look for a new mod thread to follow SOON!!!!

So by reset, are you saying you just let the car sleep and when it woke up, things were okay again? Just wondering...

No Rudy, when I got in my car I performed the reset procedure - man this forum is the best!!!!! I checked the buttons before I did the reset - nothing. Pressed and held the cd/dvd/volume buttons for 30 secs and - they worked again!!!

Gotcha...but I'd call that a reboot!
