Horn stuck on, no feedback from steering wheel controls.

Before anybody tells me to look it up, I have. I've tried everything I've found so far. 

 

I have a 2018 Z71 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 150k Miles, I dropped it off today to get detailed. When I went back to pick it up, everything looked fine. I put the key in the ignition, turned it to the accessory position and my horn started blaring. It eventually went off after a few moments, I got my tools ready to disconnect the ground if it did it again... It did, I took off the ground, pulled the horn fuse, and check it out. It looked fine, I started the truck without the fuse in with no problems, but once I put it back in it continued to blow. So I drove it home without the fuse in, while driving home I noticed the controls on my steering wheel didn't work (Menu buttons, cruise control buttons, along with my radio controls on the back side), I didn't worry about it at first because I thought it might have been linked to the Horn Fuse. Once I got home I disconnected the horns and put the fuse back in. The steering wheel controls still did not work. My blinker along with my hazards still works, just not my steering wheel controls. I did some digging and I pulled the steering wheel accessories fuse and checked it out, I even went and got a new one. Still nothing, at this point I took the steering wheel cover over to see if there was any moisture or anything behind it, but nothing. 

 

I've ran out of possible fixes that I can find and I'm here looking for possible fixes before I have to bring it into the dealership. It put me in a bad spot because I have to pull a camper for 8+ hours tomorrow, I still, however, have the receipt of it being detailed, I'm not sure if its linked to them but it was perfectly fine before I brought it there.

Well most people would take it back to the detail shop (like they could fix it anyways...) and demand them resolve it. However, I wouldn't want them trying to repair it, but a careful discussion of what they did and how they did it might help bring you closer to a solution. Going in guns blazing would likely result in a flat out denial "worked fine for us" or "it was already like that"...

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
