The steering wheel was not taped down and probably got turned too much an broke the ribbon. I just watched a video on how a clock spring works and im shocked at how its litterally just a long flat cable spooled up with enough slack to allow it to turn from stop to stop. So im pretty sure at this point thats the problem with it.

So now to decide.....replace the clock spring and keep the steering wheel controls and the factory stereo, or...... replace the steering wheel with an aftermarket and do away with the controls, and put in a large touch screen in my center console.
