Heated steering wheel

Chev-mekanik · December 28, 2016

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.

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

Tied to the KR73 Ignition Main Relay, Fuse F32DL 7.5A

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

In the WT the plug isn't even there. Ran a fuse tap and tied into a ground to get mine to work.

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 #?

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.

Did you do this and did it work? just add one wire the other wires are there?
