No buttons work? Check the clockspring connections

i have had this happen several times, but only when i leave my car outside when its cold (30 or below). very rarely would i leave it outside. i let it warm up. drove it for 10 mins stopped turned it all the way off took the key out. waited a few put it back in and everything worked, the only thing i was worried about was the fact that my HORN didn't even work!!!!!!
