Steering radio control not functioning

Highly doubtful it being a blown fuse . Fuse's don't just blow , short circuit to ground or high current draw . Faulty component , wiper motor , wiper control module more likely . Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on body & accessories . then under subsystem click on wiper / washer , Click the search button ,then the blue link . Looking at the diagram i see the wiper switch is a input to the wiper control module .

The windshield wipers are controlled by the wiper control module and the driver-operated multi-function switch on the steering column, with the ignition switch in RUN or ACC position.
There are four modes of wiper operation: OFF position, the wipers move to and stay in the park position; Interval position, the wiper control module causes the wipers to cycle, separated by pauses, pause time length being determined by switch location; LO position, the wipers will operate at low speed continuously; HI position, the wipers will operate at high speed continuously.
The windshield washers are controlled by pressing inward on the wiper switch end of the multi-function switch. The washers will operate as long as the switch is depressed. If the wipers are in the OFF or Interval operating mode, the wipers will begin in LO speed and the washer pump will pump fluid from the reservoir to the nozzles. When the switch is released, the wipers will complete three cycles and then return to their previous setting. In LO or HI mode, no change in wiper operation will occur during washer operation.
The washer fluid level sensor is in the windshield washer reservoir (17618) and is monitored by the hybrid electronic instrument cluster (HEC) and displays a WASHER message when the fluid level is low. The washer fluid level sensor and windshield washer reservoir are replaced as an assembly.

Removal & Installation

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. WARNING(bags can kill, my comment)
   Wait two minutes for the airbag system reserve capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service.
2. From below the steering column, remove the three screws that secure the lower steering column shroud to the multi-function switch mounting housing.
3. Using hand pressure, push gently inward on both sides of the upper shroud near the parting line between the upper and lower shrouds to release the snap features that secure the two shroud halves together.
4. Remove both the upper and lower shrouds from the steering column.
5. Remove the Steering Control Module (SCM) from the steering column.
6. Remove the two screws that secure the left multifunction switch to the SCM .
7. Disengage the two retaining tabs , next to the screw mounts that secure the left multi-function switch to the SCM.
8. Disconnect the left multi-function switch from the SCM.

To install:

1. Position the left multi-function switch onto position on the Steering Control Module (SCM) .
2. Engage the two retaining tabs, next to the screw mounts that secure the left multi-function switch and firmly snap into place.
3. Install the two screws that secure the left multifunction switch to the SCM. Tighten the screws to 22 inch lbs. (2.5 Nm).
4. Position the lower steering column shroud to the underside of the steering column.
5. Install the three screws that secure the lower steering column shroud to the multi-function switch mounting housing. Tighten the screws to 17 inch lbs. (2 Nm).
6. Position the upper column shroud over the steering column with the hazard warning switch button inserted through the hole in the upper shroud.
7. Align the snap features on the upper and lower shrouds and apply hand pressure to snap them together.
8. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

The problem is most likely your cars multi function switch. That is the switch that controls your blinkers, dimmer, and everything else. If you change the switch that should solve your problem.

There are just (3) possible reasons for this:
(a) your headlight switch has failed, or
(b) your headlight relay has failed.
(c) Fuse 1 (25 Amps) has blown

The headlight relay and fuse 1 are located (I think) in a fuse/relay block under the hood.
The headlight switch is part of the "Multi-function Switch" on the steering column.

Here's how to replace the 2001 PT Cruiser multi-function switch:


Multi-Function Switch Removal & Installation
1. Open the hood.
2. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
3. Remove both upper and lower steering column shrouds.
4. Disconnect both posi-lock harness connectors at the rear of the multi-function switch.
5. Remove multi-function switch mounting screws and remove switch from vehicle.




To Install the new multi-function switch:

Note:
If replacing the multi-function switch, the combination flasher and windshield wiper/washer switch
must be transferred to the new multi-function switch.

1. Remove the two Torx(R) screws retaining the wiper/washer switch, place next to the new
multi-function switch and install two screws.
2. Place switch into place and install mounting screws. Torque multi-function switch to column
retaining screws to 27 inch-lbs. (3 Nm).
3. Connect both posi-lock harness connectors at the rear of the multi-function switch.
4. Install both upper and lower steering column shrouds.
5. Connect the battery negative cable.
6. Close hood.
7. Verify vehicle and system operation.

Removal

1. Disconnect battery ground cable

1. Remove the steering column shroud
   

1. Remove two self-tapping screws that attach the multi-function switch to the steering column tube casting. Disengage multi-function switch from casting.

1. Disconnect the two electrical connectors, using caution not to damage the locking tabs. Do not damage PRNDL cable.
   

1
Steering Column 2
Screw 3
Multi-Function Switch 4
Wiring to Multi-Function Switch A
Tighten to 2-3 Nm
(18-27 Lb-In)


Installation

1. Install the two switch electrical connectors to full engagement. The wiring for the switch is to be routed under the PRNDL cable.

1. Align the mounting holes on multi-function switch with the holes in the steering column tube casting. Install two self-tapping screws making sure to start the screws in the previously tapped holes. Tighten to 2-3 Nm (18-27 lb-in).

1. For automatic transmission (7003), verify that the PRNDL adjustment is correct.

1. Install the steering column shroud.

1. NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more for powertrain control module to relearn the strategy.
   
2. Connect the battery ground cable.
   
3. Check the steering column tube for proper operation.
   

I hope this helps, if you have any questions just ask

Lights intermittent can be caused by switch or relay. Try swapping the Low Beam relay with another similar relay (horn relay is a good choice) to see if that resolves it. These relays are in the Junction Block--may be under the hood or in the car but not in the big box by the battery). If this doesn't fix it, the problem is likely the headlamp switch.

Horn coming on is usually caused by a broken switch or stripped wire insulation inside the steering column. You would usually have to take the steering wheel off to fix it, and this requires special tools; however, if the problem happens to be under the steering column shroud, you may be able to fix it without taking off the steering wheel. Take the shroud off and see if you can follow the black/red horn wire. Follow it as far as you can to check for stripped insulation contact with any metal. If you lights switch is bad, you can also change that while you have the shroud off.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Wand Removal & Installataion

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the knee blocker from the instrument panel.
3. Remove the three screws that secure the lower steering column shroud to the upper shroud.
4. If the vehicle is equipped with a standard non-tilt steering column, loosen the two upper steering column mounting nuts. If the vehicle is equipped with the optional tilt steering column, move the tilt steering column to the fully lowered position.
5. Remove both the upper and lower shrouds from the steering column.
