The little module that is right under the column (behind that plate) is prob. bad.
The electronics inside can't take much heat and they fry at a pretty fast rate.
I have bought two from GM in the last 10 years and I am not gonna fix it again.

Take the control module apart.

Mine quit or was intermittent and I took the control module apart thats at the base of the steering wheel and found broken/cracked solder joints on the PC board, touched it up with a soldering iron and has been working fine since then.
