Steering Wheel Radio Controls wrong mapping

[justinh]

My 2017 Raptor has recently started having a mind of it's own with the steering wheel radio controls, volume up selects the voice control, side to side sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

Seems like a common issue with older ones but I don't find as much for the newer ones.

Is the only solution to replace the control?

If you can get it to adjust the windshield mirror I'll buy the truck!

I have the same issue... but very intermittent. Most common is volume up activates voice command. After I start the truck each time, if it does it will consistently do it for the rest of the trip.
I kinda figured something has gotten in the controls, dirt of debris. Plan to clean it when I pull the trim piece to refinish it.
I saw the electronic control is pretty cheap. So maybe replace it too.

Have you done any forscan mods? I actually set my steering wheel controls oposite of what they are, volume buttons control the cluster display and up and down arrows control volume now, I love it, now I have my coffee on my right hand and I can skip tunes or adjust volume with my left.

My point was, maybe you accidentally mess with the steering controls if you did any forscan modifications.

No, forscan mods

My 2017 has started doing this as well. Usually pressing the volume up button triggers the voice command. Sometimes they work right, sometimes they don't. It's very frustrating, has anyone determined what the root cause is?

Exact same problem I have. Mine started working normally again for about a week and is now back to acting up. Almost seems climate related (humidity/temp).

Most like liquids/dirt/debris in the switch pack affecting the resistance readings. Each switch has a specific resistance that the control module reads when a button is pressed.

Lay off the slurpees when driving fellas. Maybe this can be easily taken apart and cleaned with electronics cleaner spray? Or maybe blow a can of compressed air in that region?
