I need steering wheel help please!

Yesterday (merry christmas to me) my electric connections went bad in my steering wheel. I heard crunch, crackle, crackle, then no steering wheel lights, then no radio controls, then a few turns later cruis control switches didn't register, then no horn. Now no turn signal return. So, how do I remove the steeing wheel to start finding my broken parts?

Yeah your clock spring is torn, usually to center it you turn it all the way 1 direction, then count the turns to the opposite lock. Then return it the other way half as many turns. The air bag requires a small pick of sorts through the 2 small holes in the steering wheel, there should be a how too for removing it, if not search "OEM steering wheel controls". I do believe there is a how to for removing the steering wheel in there.
