So this morning my buttons on my steering wheel, my turn signals, and my low, intermittent, and washer fluid functions stopped working on my 2014 SE. As well as all of my steering wheel buttons. I'm not sure what the issue was. But all of a sudden, they started working again.
It made me start wondering if my aftermarket android radio is the culprit. Occasionally I'll have to reboot it because I'll lose the steering wheel button functionality. I had noticed the wiper functions not working prior to the other things not working so I decided to reboot the radio and everything now works. So it made me think the issue the whole time was with the android radio. Is it possible that the steering wheel buttons not working also caused the wipers and turn signals to stop working?
I was originally thinking it could be a blown fuse or relay connected to the wipers but now I'm not so sure.
I paid $200 for the radio from China last year and I know you get what you pay for. For the most part, it's worked well for what I've expected from it. But if it's going to cause issues with my steering wheel buttons and signals and wipers, then I might just reinstall the factory 4" sync 1 radio and cd player and be done with the cheap Chinese radio. If that's even the culprit. I know the harness that plugs into the back of it has to have wires that go to the steering wheel and HVAC controls. But I just didn't think it would have wires for the wipers and turn signals in a harness. Like I said, the high speed wiper and the high beams worked on the steering wheel levers, but everything else didn't.
