I have the same problem on my 2013 Jeep Compass except the horn also does not work. Only the cruise control buttons work. I tried disconnecting the battery for about an hour and nothing changed.

Sounds like the clock spring might be bad.

Is it not sad that Jeep is STILL having this same issue? My 2020 Compass is doing the same thing right now. I will have to try the battery thing.

Did it work? Disconnecting the battery? Cause I have a 2016 jeep patriot high altitude and I have the same problem?

I'd check the fuses first. Disconnecting the battery second -- it is simple but you'll have to reset the radio presets afterwards. I think there was a clockspring recall for some Patriots. IYDK, the clockspring is the device that allows the steering wheel to turn while maintaining the electrical connections. Check with a dealer to see if it was done on yours. If you have your VIN, the Jeep website has a place to check for recalls: Lookup FCA Vehicle Recalls by VIN | Official Mopar® Site

 

[2011_ Patriot]

Only 60,256 miles, the same problems: steering wheel controls for audio and dash display failed to work (though cruise control works properly). I tried in vain to get things working again, finally I tried the HORN AGAIN and Everything started working....except the low fuel warning at 1/4 tank. No lamp warning, just the "Low Fuel" message on display. Fill it up with 10 Gallons and the message goes away..
anyone have these issues?????
