    I didn't replace anything and these are the only two buttons that don't work aside from the horn. Which is another problem I have. I don't know where to start and what to do.

    possibly the clock spring. hold the button down and move the wheel from lock to lock, to see if it works in any position.

    Sadly that didn't work. Maybe a blown fuse?

    Happened in my 2010 a few years ago. I cleaned it with an overly applied amount of cleaner...it stopped working after that... tough repair ... I Did not repair since car was wrecked.

    The combination of trip/disp and horn not working does sound a lot like the spiral cable ("clock spring") as bisco suggested.

    The test bisco mentioned is more specific than it is sensitive. If you had found the buttons worked in some wheel positions and not others, it would be a pretty sure thing it's the spiral cable. However, the absence of that result doesn't prove it's not the spiral cable, especially when the clinical picture still sounds pretty much like it is.

    It does matter a bit whether your car has the "Touch Tracer" feature or not. See this post for why.
