Lexus CT200h horn, cruise control, and steering wheel buttons not functioning with dashboard warning lights on after clock spring replacement on Lexus CT200h

Some Lexus CT200h owners report experiencing issues with the horn, cruise control, and steering wheel buttons not functioning properly after replacing the clock spring. These problems may stem from a faulty clock spring, which can render steering wheel-mounted controls inoperable. Additionally, some owners find that the horn is non-functional, potentially due to a blown fuse interrupting the circuit, necessitating a check of the fuse box for replacement. Moreover, dashboard warning lights, including the airbag light, may illuminate, indicating issues with the airbag system linked to the clock spring. The traction control light may also be activated due to similar problems in the steering column. For those still facing these issues post-replacement, further diagnosis of the electrical system and inspection by a professional mechanic may be required to resolve the underlying causes.
