Steering wheel buttons and horn does not work.

Ok so i just bought a pre-owned 2009 Acura TSX, runs great and all. But has one problem. My steering wheel buttons and horn do not work. I know it has to do something with electricity not going to the steering wheel. Can anyone suggest what i can replace to make everything work?

Either the cable reel is damaged or the connectors to the buttons are not plugged in. There is a little door below the steering wheel, I would open that and check the connectors. If everything is plugged in, I would take it to the dealer - There are airbags etc that you don't want to mess with (unless you know exactly what you're doing).

Tell the dealer to check the fuse box.
