Default Steering Wheel Controls

Hello I recently just picked up a 2011 Grandsport, everything is great except my steering wheel controls are not responding. Tried my Bluetooth and radio controls no response. I read it might be a fuse. I read my manual and I saw a fuse called SWC DIM fuse , was wondering was this the fuse I need to check. Or do I need to replace the clock spring, and is this fuse located in the interior fuse panel or the one under the hood. And help would we'll appreciated . Thanks

Are you still running the factory head unit? I also have a 2011 Grand Sport and had a 2010 ZR1 before that, and I have to admit that there have been no issues with steering wheel controls. Is it possible a previous owner had an aftermarket wheel and may have forgotten to reconnect something?

From what I understand, it's pretty simple to pull the air bag (carefully, of course). You might need to check the electrical connections. I don't see any fuse specific to the controls: https://www.autogenius.info/chevrole...e-box-diagram/

Yes it's the factory radio, I'll probably pull the airbag this evening and check the wiring. I kept reading different post about checking the fuse, but I never found anything about what fuse it was, I'm thinking it's something simple, but I wanted to exhaust simple problems before getting into something like replacing a clock spring.

Do you have the steering wheel controls on both sides of the steering wheel ?

I believe the Yellow, Purple/White, and Dark Blue wires are at the connector before the clock spring, under the air bag, but I could be wrong.
