Did you test the 1-amp steering wheel control fuse? Or did you just visually inspect it? I can't tell you how many times we've had somebody say the fuse was okay after looking at it but it was really blown. Always either test or replace with a known good fuse.

The switches almost never wear out (at least not all at once) so the fuse is the most likely culprit. If not then it could be a connection someplace or the contact ring in the steering column. Does your horn still work (it uses the same contact ring)?
