The issue is the plugs just don’t fit. I reordered from another vendor on eBay with the right connectors but that will take another 5 days, but I didn’t want to shell out $300 to GMC. FML

No I get that. What was trying to explain is that I took the connectors apart and repined them into the connectors that do fit for my airbag. You could do the same if you still have the plugs from your old clock spring

That might be beyond my pay grade. Lol. Is it difficult? Thank you for suggesting it.

Not really. Once you pop the connectors apart with a small flat head screw driver, the terminals come right out and press into the other style.

Where it gets tricky is, you need to figure out what plug belongs where. So it might be wise to just wait for the replacement to come in.

In my case mine only had 1 plug on the airbag. So I tried both, one wasn’t recognized by my airbag system and kept throwing a light, the other turned the light off, so I kept that one plugged in. The other plug just sits behind the airbag system

Don’t really wasn’t that difficult and now works perfectly. I just kept the wires in same position and all worked out ok. Thank you for the assist!

Has anyone purchased a harness from @cmatt recently. Send a message to him a week ago inquiring about getting one

Was wondering also with adding the heated wheel. Does it come on automatically when starting the truck from the key FOB or do you physically have to turn it on from the wheel?

Have to physically turn it on each time you want to use it, does not come on with remote start.

So I have 2 green plugs that fit cmatts harness. One of the clock spring then the other that looks to have the inline fuse. Anyone help?

the one on the face of the clock spring plugs into the steering wheel. The fused side would plug into the 12v power which I assume is the harness you ordered.
If I had just looked at the wheel before taking the picture I would have seen the green connector that the one off the clock spring goes to. Installing a heated steering wheel when its 90* out in RI probably wasn't the best idea but it's all installed and working.
