Ok. Watched the video and took out my fuse block. I have the violet/white wire in that location. See picture. Should that mean that the connector underneath is hot?54901ffda9b8511b7643035176bd592d.jpg

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..

Just got mine installed.  Heat works, but the light won't come on.  At this point, I cant tell if the switch works, but the light doesn't or that the heat is always on.  Going to let it cool down for an hour or so, start it up and NOT push the button to see what happens.   Any suggestions?

Figured it out.  Anyone familiar with Garage Logic?  Radio show in Twin Cities MN.  50/50/90 rule.  If you have a 50/50 shot at getting it right, 90% of the time you'll be wrong.  Pictured a few posts back was my exact plug setups, but the plugs do fit, just in the opposite polarity.  Current goes through the heating element first, then stops at the switch.  Switch doesn't' do anything as expected.  I pulled the wires out and switched them.  Bingo!  Taped it up and working great!

Got the steering wheel installed and works great. Wasn’t at first, then I checked the fuse in the fuse block and it was blown. Might have done that when I was checking to see if the connector was hot. Anyway, replaced the 7.5 fuse with a 10 since I don’t have any. Will get the 7.5 ordered.

Thanks Phil and everyone else for the help.

BTW, that airbag connector really is a PITA to get in and out.

Anyone know if the heated steering wheel from a 2019 would work in the 2018 Silverado! Just a thought, I like the look of the new steering wheel a lot better.

I got my heated wheel installed with a new clock spring. every thing works but the heat part. i have the connector under the dash and there is a 7.5 amp fuse in the fuse box says its for the heated wheel. I see everything on this form to run a wire if you don't have the connection but i have the connection and a fuse in the panel,   not sure where to go from here. this job was easy until trying to get my old fat hands under the dash.  I have a 2016 Silverado LT 1500 double cab 4x4

Your missing a wiring run in between. This is what you need.

what kind of joke is GM pulling?  i pulled the fuse panel out and if i'm looking at it right there is no wire on the connector  but i have the connector to plug the wire from the new clock spring.

When GM built the Instrument Panel harnesses, they only built a small # harness part #s. Some of these variations will have the fuse block, fuse block, and part of the wiring. There is a junction connection up in the dash and you’re likely missing that wire from the connector to the fuse panel.

you are right i just looked there is another junction. i saw a purple wire going in but didn't see one coming out. i wonder if i could buy that wire with the terminals and just push them in that connection and the fuse block.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
