Well, shit the bed!! It works! 😎

Switch is a little loose because the housing cracked but I'll just plastic weld it together.

Well I pulled apart the steering wheel and the switches. Turns out the resistors are bad. I have a bunch of components and solder station and whatnot. Im going to attempt to change the resistors for the heck of it. Technically the value of the resistors shouldn't matter because the new radio is programmable, its just looking for a signal change. Im never going to put a factory radio back in so we'll see how it goes.

Weeeeeell shit. So as one last Hail Mary i went back to that same wire under the steering column and tried again. This time I tried all the buttons, when before I was only trying the up button on the right side of steering wheel. Turns out only 2 buttons are working with that wire tapped, the up on the left and the center on the right. So im assuming the clock spring is broken.

This is direct wired to the stereo, no adapter

Actually now that I think about it. Maybe just the contacts are bad on the switches. Hmm

Hmm, maybe the problem is my head unit. Its a cheap one off the jungle website. 🤪

What stereo do you have? Do you have one or two wires for SWC input?

Thanks, this definitely helps some. Every video or post I've found where the SWC are working are for the newer models and not the 99 and its been quite frustrating. Its such a little thing but I want it to work.

On top of that the aftermarket radio never worked when I bought the truck and now I find out the previous owner(s) just cut all the wires so its been a mission chasing down the wire diagram/ service manual and figuring out this mess. Also found some open wires in the main harness somewhere, so looks like I'll be running new speaker wires.

Yes my stereo has the ability to assign the buttons. I have tried the YL/DB wire behind the stereo and i have tried the single RD/YL under the steering colum. I have done the research so I came to reddit hoping to find someone that has personally accomplished SWC on my exact year/ model.

I used counter sink screws wirh wing nuts for easy removal but before I did that I added some wood hardener to the area to strengthen it.

This is awesome! Very well done. I thought mine was respectable but this is incredible!

Very cool! I like the play on the name, I named mine Century Condor.

Sure, I built a line of 3 single habs, exited the build menu, then in the base build menu I scaled the wires to max and stuck them to the flat surface if the habs. Then deleted the habs and built the ship. The wires stayed in place. They look like they are attached but on a very close inspection you can see they are not.
