Anyone know why these 2 would suddenly stop working?
No previous problems, or work done in those areas. Thanks for any ideas in advance!

Cruise & Horn not working - 6G Celicas Forums
it could be the plug on the clock spring
but try looking at the fuses first and seeing if they are all good

Yea, already checked all fuses.
Forgot to mention that,sorry. Checked all obvious things, like something disconnected...I just havn't torn it all apart yet, cause it seems a centralized issue instead of something hidden behind many panels and screws.

It could be one of the clips on the inside of the steering wheel or the one on the backside of the clock spring. You would need to take the wheel and steering column covers off to get to the one on the backside of the clock spring though. It might be a 20-30 minute job at most to open it up

the harness plug located straight above the center steering wheel bolt probably came loose.
you can follow malpaso's how-to to get to it. the screws on the sides are a bit tricky to get to.

the screws on the side arent that tricky lol just get a flat driver and pop them off!
You need a T27 Torx head for the screws on the side of the steering wheel. I agree with azian_advanced's theory. Disconnect the cruise switch right there and you won't have any more cruise control or horn. If that's not it, then it's likely the clock spring and you've already got the steering wheel apart to find out anyway.
I very highly recommend disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery and depressing the brake pedal before taking the steering wheel apart. Not that the airbag is likely to blow, but I just don't like taking chances.

Good thing mine is already gone! But yea, I always remove power before I do anything to the car, even if it has nothing to do with it. Just always seemed like a good idea.
Gunna pull it apart tomorrow and find out whats going...just odd, havn't taken that steering wheel off in almost a year, we'll find out soon.
Thanks for the idea guys, appreciate it.
Edit: Yeaa, I just used a flathead last time to take'em off...didn't strip or anything.
