Steering wheel controls may stop working due to:

Loose Connections: The wiring o r connections behind the steering wheel could become loose over time.
Software Errors: Occasionally, the system’s software may malfunction, leading to unresponsive buttons.
Worn-Out Buttons: The buttons themselves may wear out o r become damaged with frequent use.

Solutions:

Check Connections: Inspect the connections behind the steering wheel for any loose o r damaged wiring.
Software Reset: Try performing a system reset to resolve any software-related issues.
Button Replacement: If buttons are physically worn out, consider replacing them o r the entire steering wheel module.
