Confirm Fuse 12 engine compartment fuse box is ok by operating hazard lights. Confirm clockspring assembly in steering column is ok by checking that cruise control functions are ok.

It is the electrical buss thing that makes electrical connection between the steering wheel (which rotates) and the steering column (which is stationary). It resembles a clockspring and is so named. A real clockspring stores energy to power a manual (not electric) clock. When you wind up a clock, you tighten the clockspring.
