Losing functions on my car

My car is losing functions sequentially -- cruise control, radio antenna, back up lights, brake lights and now air bags. I was told it wasn't the computer, but rather the brake light switch assembly. I replaced it, but now the brake warning light and alarm go off whenever moving. Furthermore I still don't have lights, though the radio is back. What have I done wrong, or have I overlooked something?

SOURCE: srs light permanently on. 2003 ml350

the light will only go off if you fix the system or tell the vehicle you dont have a srs module but the dealers would have to do that.

SOURCE: Several secondary electrical systems not working -- 1998 CLK

They can check the battery and the charging system for starters. Fully charged battery,clean cables. then do a load test on the battery. If it didn't pass the test replace it and check the charging system.
Charging system easy to check , Put voltmeter on battery terminals and monitor vehicle's voltage with and wthout accessories on. should be between 13.5 to 14.5v . Before condemning alternator inspect wiring behind alternator ...if corroded replace then retest.
If voltage is with range then the problem is in the power distribution compartment/ relay, or either is a ground all those items share.

Locating 3 amp fuse to radio which is secondary fuse after main fuse at the fuse block under dash. Followed wiring diagram which indicates fuse should be near or inside radio enclosure.

Question edited for clarity, 'fuse', unless you light it 'fuze'.Question moved to sub category.

If the radio has an inline fuse, it will be within 82 of the plug at the rear. They are built into the harness. Unlikely because there are three fuses covering audio.

The audio controls on steering wheel don't work - although the cruise control does

Have you checked the connection under the air bag on the steering wheel but you must remember to disconnect the battery leads then leave the car for 30 minutes for the air bag to discharge before doing that I would pull the radio out from the dashboard and check all the multi plugs on the back of it first there are normally a fuse for multifunctional steering wheel control just check make sure you tested the right fuse

2002 lincoln ls horn radio controls cruise control wiring diagram dont work

I'll guess that your air bag light is on as well? Sounds Like you need a new clockspring in the steering wheel. This device replaced the old copper slip rings when air bags come out.

No cruise control no radio air bag light on volvo xc90

The airbag light stays on and the cruise control does not work

The air bag light has to do with the air bag sensors in the bumper being bad, or the air bag module being bad.

The cruise control not working has to do with a broken cable from the cruise control mechanism, or a blown fuse for cruise control, or the cruise control being turned off.

I lost all power to the steering wheel components,

Your issue is most likely the clock spring which is part of the air bag system.

All of the signals controlling these functions are routed through the clock spring.

Should cost around 200-300 to have it done, or more like 100-150 if you do it yourself. You must know what you are doing though as the airbag system is not to be taken lightly.

Horn, cruise control, and radio controls on steering wheel do not work ?

The clockspring behind the steering wheel is possibly defective or unplugged. It is the one and only component that all of your symptoms have in common.

Cruise control

Bet switches in steering wheel are bad...Very common. Especially if it has a air bag and the air bag light is on...I would clean the switches or if it has a air bag and the light is on replace the clock spring for the air bag and the light will go off and cruise will work again......
