Thanks for the replies. I pulled off the horn button and it came off easily. After I got that off, nothing was different, so I pulled off the contact plate (??). Then came the steering wheel. The bolt holding the steering wheel on was just finger tight. I then pulled the steering wheel off very (to), easily. I did not see much out of the ordinary (I dont know what ordinary is though). Could it be that my steering wheel wasn't(isn't) far enough down so the buttons aren't touching enough? Also, where can you get some steering wheel crack filler? Thanks so much!
