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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
