Electric gremlins? - Honda Pilot

The air bag light first came on, few days later cruise control stopped working (light not even coming on etc), now the radio controls on steering not functioning. Any ideas?

Sounds like a bad clock spring in the steering wheel. That s the part that allows the wires to wind and unwind as the steering wheel rotates.

I would check the battery too. A weak battery plays havoc on the Pilot.

It was in fact the steering connection thing (cant remember exactly what called), but after 243.00 later for parts and labor all back to new!
