Default Lower Handle Bar controls don't work

I have a 2011 Ultra Limited and my lower handlebar controls don't work at all the ones for adjusting volume changing tracks or channels and cruise all don't work. I've so far searched for bad fuses, broken or disconnected wires and have found nothing wrong. Any ideas, suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Did they just stop working?

Have they ever worked?

Did you do any work in the switch area?

Stock handlebars not the HK radio I switched that out months ago and everything worked fine then just stopped working. I did replace the front brake switch but have gone back and rechecked everything all wire are in place and connected properly.
