Adding Heated Steering Wheel - Need VIN

[noobsquared]

Hey everyone!

New to the forum but I’ve had my Tahoe for a couple of years now. I live in Colorado and would love to add heated steering wheel to my 2009 Tahoe LT2 Z71. It has everything I need except for that.
I found a post that talks about how I need a few parts and it should be plug and play for the most part.
My question is if I can find a VIN from someone to order black heated steering wheel and clock spring, that will make it much easier to make sure I get the right part for my 2009.
I’ve seen two different part numbers between leather color options and a wood steering wheel option. I just want black leather to match my car.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Heated Steering Wheel link and here is why I added to my cart. Do I need anything else?
Thanks in advance!

they made some changes in 2010 not sure if any of those changes affect the steering wheel/clock spring integration
you may find difficulty in locating a new steering wheel a few of us members cleaned out the last remaining stock a couple years ago, some places may show it for sale but it's pretty unlikely anyone will have a new one, used ones show up on occasion on ebay or lkq, etc but condition is a gamble.

Thanks, man!

Do those look like right part numbers though? I can start my search to see if I can find them? I just don’t want to order something that isn’t right or won’t fit.
That’s all I need, those 3 parts?

you need the clockspring and steering wheel, for the heated option to work I think you need to add a "power wire" from probably the lower kickpanel to the clockspring? I am not sure on that part a couple members have done it before hopefully one of them will spot your post and chime in.
because the vehicles that did not come with heated steering do not have that wire.

Thanks, Joseph. Really looking forward to finally doing some convenience mods

Here is a quick pic I took around Halloween. Trying to build something that looks super mean.

I am back! I ended up buying this steering wheel here: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/thr...li-heated-steering-wheel.130765/#post-1633008

Ordered the harness and clock spring to make it work. Everything went without a hitch, but heated steering wheel doesn't work, and I have a code for airbag.
B0012-0E is the code.

I followed instructions to the dot. Replaced the harness that had the brown power plug for heated steering wheel, and all of my controls work except for heated wheel.
I have media controls working, cruise control working, and nothing seems to be broken outside of just that code for airbag, and heated steering wheel not working.

I do have an aftermarket radio with mantra stuff. I do have iDatalink Maestro RR Interface Module and iDatalink ADS HRN-RR-GM5+ Interface Harness with my JVC KW-V85BT but the power to heated wheel is not affected by anything but the power to the connector coming out of the steering wheel with brown wire, right?
Anyone else had any issues after installing heated steering wheel?

Here are the parts I ordered and replaced:

25966964​	Clock Spring​
25807858​	Steering Column Wiring Harness​

If I read the page 13's first post correctly here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/to...steering-wheel-install-gmt900-sierra/page/13/

then replacing harness doesn't give me the power source for heated steering wheel, I have to get this harness. Does anyone know where I can find this plug and play connector?

 

[noobsquared]

I figured it out for anyone looking for a solution. Apparently my dumb a forgot to press the white clip at the back of the connectors behind airbag. So if you don't press them in, you will get error codes. Took the airbag out, and pressed those white locks in and everything works now except for heated steering wheel button. Off to work on providing power to it then. Not sure why I changed the harness when I have to supply it power from somewhere else

Any luck finding that other connector and/or how to get power to the switch? I'm preparing to do the same, and don't want to tear it all apart if I'm going to end up dead at the same spot!

 

[noobsquared]

Nope. No luck. I did come across this, but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet. All the driver side fuses kill the battery. Ask me how I know lol

Hardwiring issues - ignition switched 12v

Hello, I went to hardwire my radar and dashcam today, I grounded them to the middle bolt in the driver side fuse panel and ran a jumper wire to the engine bay fuse box slot 45 to test it. I wasn't getting any power with the key, is there a better ground location? Any other advice appreciated.

In for this as well. Going to be doing the swap but need the same question answered

 

[Doubeleive]

people have done it, doesn't take constant power you just need key on power
@Kee Fuller didn't you add a heated steering wheel?

Yup. Only works when the key is in

 

[5StarG3neral]

Yup. Only works when the key is in

Meaning with the clockspring and wheel I won't need an additional power source correct?

For people who need an answer, I plugged the power source for heated steering wheel to BCM under the drive side dash. I will try to post some pics later today.
I tried one spot with a spade connector first and it wasn't getting enough power for heat will turn on and then off on the steering wheel. I found another spot using test light and this one seems to work better. I haven't done a long term test on a long drive, but it didn't turn off like the first time. Do not use the fuse box. Use the BCM under the dash that is RAP or only on when car is on.

Shouldn't it need to be programed like adding everything else on our trucks like heated seats backup camera and such not looking at doing it but just curious

no, it's manual control on/off button only, nothing to do with programming, outside/inside temperature or anything.
