SOURCE: steering wheel audio controls wires
those controls will only work with your factory audio unit not aftermarket ( it has an interphase )
SOURCE: the horn and cruise control doesn't work,fuses are
the horn input to ground is located in the cruise control module. if they both don't work then your cruise control module or the clockspring coil for the steering wheel needs to be replaced. If airbag lights is on as well then I would change the clockspring coil first.
SOURCE: I get a squeaking noise when i turn the steering
I have a 2002 Escape V6. I had a squeak when turning... even when standing still. It was fairly low mileage: 40,000 miles?
It was the outer tie rod. You could feel it squeak in your hand while someone else turned the steering wheel.
I disconnected the tie rod. I wasn't worn, just squeaky. I squirted a little WD40 inside the boot, and worked it in. Reassembled and squeak gone.
I bought a replacement tie rod, but never had to put it on. I'm now at 110,000 miles.

My outer tie rod did the same thing when just out of warranty. I could tell it was "bad" by putting my hand on the tie rod while someone else turned the steering a little and I could easily feel the vibration.
Check the other side to feel the difference. Tie rods don't cost that much, if you can replace it yourself, and take a chance on foregoing the wheel alignment. Maybe a $150? job at the shop.
In my case, a tie rod was not readily available. I verified that it was a good joint; no shake or rattle. Then I squirted a little WD40 inside the boot, and put it back together. 70,000 miles later, the new tie rod is still on my shelf waiting for the squeak to return.

If the cruise lamp comes on and the cruise does not set i would advise inspecting the cruise cable and make certain it is not broken, if ok the the servo has likely failed.

Hi Steven Cull, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
I'm looking for the wires that control the buttons on the steering wheel. Aftermarket "radios" cannot use these buttons without an adapter or in my case the key1/key2 wires build into my unit. Pins 18 and 19 on the vehicle wiring harness may be the ones I'm looking for, but I've seen a lot of different information and want to be sure before I remove radio again.
