Fastcars...my 2002 steering wheel controls for volume did not work properly until the clockspring was replaced, never tried or had trouble with the mute though.

same issue here. to avoid i use only the steering wheel volume control eventually going to replace with more up to date stereoMore on my problem - when the radio is on the clock-spring controls work fine, but if I just TOUCH the knob it goes to max volume. Have to kill pwr and restart - works fine again. Problem has to be the rheostat, or whatever the heck they use these days. I just don't touch the knob and enjoy tunes! Good luck, Blaine
Would you still have the original mounting brackets for the radio?My cd player was messing about so I removed it entirely and fitted a basic cheap new one from walmart that is a tuner with inputs for sd cards, usb sticks and mp3 players, a lot easier I just can't use the steering wheel controls with it but no real loss.
I replaced my clock spring earlier this year, bought one on ebay and was perfect fit, and works like new.Where can you find an '04 replacement clock-spring for a descent price? The part was discontinued and the cheapest I've been able to find is around $330 (materials only).
The radio that goes into auto Mute, does the display show Mute, if so I would think the
round snap disc under the Mute button may be flat, or Mute button on steering wheel
may be sticky.
The user with the touchy volume control, fix is somewhat easy but you have to remove radio
from dash, open top cover of radio and spray contact cleaner into volume control. Deoxit is
the best contact cleaner around. See picture.View attachment 2916
