Heated steering wheel

Call me curious.

 

I am seeing lots of wheels on ebay... most with the forward warning collision button. Obviously I am after the heated portion which they all have.

 

If I get one with the button, even though my truck doesn't have the system, will it still plug in? I understand I will have a dead button.

 

Thanks

 

I would keep it simple and wait for the right one. Liability issues may come up if some one else is driving the vehicle.

Always figured they were a waste of money. Won't order without it now.

i use mine a lot. it only takes about 3 minutes to get too hot to hold, so i turn it off after that.   its funny how awesome the steering wheel warmer is and how terrible the seat warmers are.

I never thought I'd need a heated steering but now that I have one I would not want to live without it! Truly awesome in Alaskan winters..

Not an option as per GM, but it can easily be added. Just find a steering wheel with the option and buy the correct clock spring. If you are lucky it will be plug and play, if not it is only a ground and run hot wire to the correct fuse.

It was an option in 2014 on my SLT so I don't see why it's not an option anymore...

Might not have been clear enough, the option is available from the factory. Just don't expect the dealer to install it afterwards. They don't seem to believe it can be done.

You must need the power adjustable pedals for that plug to be hot. I plugged mine in and doesn't work. 2016 LT (no power pedals). Guess I'll tap a hot from the fuse box. Just make sure you tap off the correct side of the fuse outlet so the current flows through the fuse

UPDATE: Added a hot wire from fuse box with fuse tap. Works perfect! You can use the Negative wire from the plug so just cut the purple with white line wire and connect to 12v from Heated Steering fuse.

Very cool! I looked up that circuit and it appears to land in the X51L Fuse Panel - Pin #37 in the X2 Connector

I know so you would think it would be plug n play. It would be nice to know why the plug has no power. a specially because the fuse panel has the 7.5 amp fuse in it from factory. makes no sense but I checked it with a meter - no hot just ground. If you find out why let us know must be open somewhere

I'll be calling my Gm buddy tomorrow to price out the wheel and clock spring, looks like the Silverado wheel with heat and without crash warning buttons is not available for some reason, The # 23278626 , Maybe you guys bought them all? lol Does anyone know if #84053917 is a change up part #?

Ordered my parts for this today! I'll update when I get it installed.

Just sold my old steering wheel and clock spring on Ebay for $200 total So it cost me less than $100 to do this mod. AWESOME!

Okay, so my truck has the plug and of course doesn't have power on the VT/WH wire. The ground is there. The fuse is in the left intstrument panel fuse block. The problem is, the wire that leaves the backside of the fuse block does not go to the X201 connector under the dash. The VT/WH wire comes from the X201 to the small connector at the clock spring but doesn't exist from the fuse block TO the X201 connector. To get this as a factory setup. You'd just need the terminal end for the left IP fuse block and the X201 connector terminal 41. The terminal part number for the X201 connector for terminal 41 is 7114-4110-02 YAZAKI. The part number for the fuse block, connector X2 which is Grey, is 19301761 terminated lead. X201 is right above the BCM, Big grey connector with a purple lever I believe. Wire it all up and you're good to go, factory setup running on the factory fuse.

I haven't done it yet. My steering wheel isn't here. But this will work. Guaranteed!

All other wires are there. Just missing the one from the fuse block X2 connector terminal 37 to the X201 connector terminal 41.

      The 92-95 SCPI spider injectors are notoriously problematic and hard to source new replacements. I’d pull the intake manifold first to inspect cracked lines and brittle plastic legs before dropping $350 on a rebuild. The 1.5 OBD system only offers limited data, no misfire tracking, which is normal for this 1995 model. Enjoy the project!

      Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.
