Default Nothin works on the wheel

When I bought my 94 f150 6 years ago nothing worked on the steering wheel, I mean the horn and cruise control. A buddy of mine told me there was a recall on em for this so I went tot he local ford garage in Wyoming where I was living at the time and they ran the vin. No luck, they told me the recall fix had already been done, I told em it musta not worked cause it don't work! They pretty much told me tuff ****, ford would not pay them to fix it again. What's the deal, anyone know? Is it something I can fix easily or inexpensively? I don't wanna dump too much into this 20 year old truck cause I think it's gonna die on me sooner or later but it keeps goin and goin and goin. It's been a good one!

Is it plugged in? Seriously, have you pulled the center piece off the wheel and made sure its all plugged in?

You need to pull the steering wheel and replace the clock spring. Mine was like that when I got it, replaced the clock spring and everything works. Pretty easy to do. Just research it before you start and you can rent a steering wheel puller from advance or autozone.
