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.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?
