Exclamation Right steering controlls not working (volume & Phone)

On my 2017 GLE 350 right steering controls not working. Volume +/-, pick up/hang up, mute.

I checked all fuses from what I could find but I don't see anything related to steering wheel right side.
Any advice would be appriciated.

I havn't seen anyone with this issue here.

I thought I could go without fixing this issue, but I need to replace rear rotors and brakes and I need right side of the controlls to activate service mode and unlock calipers.

Thanks in advance

Buy WIS from ebay and find the procedure to disassemble the switches from the steering wheel. It might already be on this site because C- and E- class from similar years will have a similar procedure. The switches could have dirt or gunk (sticky beverage residue) in them and possibly could be cleaned. Or they need to be replaced, at which point EPC would be your friend. EPC is bundled with WIS when purchased from ebay.

Thank you for suggestions. I will try it.

Here is a video I found on How to Replace Steering Wheel buttons/controlls/volume
Hope it helps somebody too.
