Ever since I bought my CL-S in Feb 09 the buttons on the steering wheel for the radio don't really work right. The up and down buttons sometimes will lower or raise the volume and sometimes it doesn't and other times it will change the radio pre sets but it will only go up through the pre sets and wont go back and the skinny middle button doesnt seem to do anything. Any ides of why it works sometimes and sometimes not and why it decides if it wants to work the volume or the radio stations or cd tracks or not work at all. Or do I just dont know how to use it. Any suggestions on whats wrong and how to fix it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Take it out, 2 screws, and try cleaning the buttons and contacts, if that doesn't help, get another one off ebay

 

had this same problem. thanks im going to try doing that too

 

There was actually a TSB on this from the dealer. I believe there was a thread that had a .pdf or some pictures on how to fix but I can't seem to find it right now.

Here is one thread with more info that may help you out - https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-2001-2003-50/steering-wheel-radio-control-issue-427637/
