Adding Heated Steering Wheel - Need VIN

[aspendale]

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!

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

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

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.
