Default 05 ES 330 Steering Wheel Control Issues

Asking for a friend, I don’t own an ES 330.
The cars steering wheel controls for some reason don’t work. The Volume, Channel, Mode, and Display buttons do not work at all. I checked the fuses but I don’t know what to exactly look at. Please help, thanks.

Maybe the stereo is going bad? Clock spring?

Maybe clock spring. But the airbag light hasn’t turned on yet though so I was thinking it’s not the clock spring.

Had this problem on an ES330 and ES350. It is definitely the clock spring. Turn the steering wheel VERY SLOWLY to the left and complete one full circle and as you are turning the steering wheel EVER SO SLIGHTLY, press the buttons on the steering wheel control. You can just select one button, like the volume up or whatever and when it starts working, you definitely have confirmed it is the clock spring.

Unfortunately, only thing to do is replace it with a new one.
