Heated steering wheel

[Justin101714]

A possibility could be the Drive belt inside the rack, could have stretched during the steering wheel being turned with the key off, the strain on the rack with no power assist can cause that. But it’s kid of rare. No way to replace the belt either, a whole rack is needed. It would be great to have the trouble code. Maybe it just needs to be re-centered with GDS.

I will deal with it for now...Is there any chance the code will reset itself?  Would I be able to pull this type of code using my EFILive tuner? (I'll give it a try tomorrow.)

 

Thanks for all your help.

So finally got mine wired to a 10amp switched circuit.  It will now turn on for about two seconds and then turn off.  Anybody had this problem?  I can turn it on over and over for the two seconds so fuse is still good

Try a different circuit and see if it does the same thing.

Thinking higher amperage or just another circuit?  I ran with 16 gauge to pin 27 currently on drivers side fuse block

I think the original fuse for the heated steering wheel is only 7.5 amps

I hooked up my tuner which also doubles as a code reader.  It did not show any type of codes but I did a "clear codes" anyways.  That seemed to resolve the recurring "steering assist reduced" message.  I'm all good now

I could use a high country wheel if anyone is selling one.

Is there an ideal ground post on the drivers side?  I'm thinking my problem is coming from a bad ground.

Remove the door sill/kick panel, there is a factory ground bolt behind.

Don't you have the connector on the wire harness for the heated steering wheel.  The one that is taped over on a wire harness right near the steering column

I couldn't find the connector from the BCM.  I looked where everybody was explaining but couldn't find it so I just wired up 12v from fuse block.

 

Which by the way pin 27 is constant 12v...I've now changed to pin 37 and replaced with a 20amp fuse.  Pin 37 should be switched as stated in the service documentation.

20a?  Stock is only 7.5a. I would use a 7.5, or a 10a Max...

For anyone interested, P/N 13574780 is the number of the mating connector for the heated steering wheel power and ground lead. It's about $10-15 depending where you buy.
