Default Steering wheel volume buttons on the fritz

Has anybody experienced issues with the x308 steering wheel buttons? My volume up button works only intermittently at best. Often it doesn't work at all. The volume down button is fine. Any repair advice? Thanks!

Any problem with cruise control? My 97 XK8 had a intermittent cc problem which I finally traced to a bad ground wire connection in the volume control. The cc ground connects to the volume ground. Anyway, I would take a look at the wiring in the steering wheel.

There is a ribbon cable in the steering column called a ? it can be repaired yourself or replaced at a higher cost

Yes, the clockspring. The manual has trouble shooting procedures to identify faulty components and circuits.
