GM Heated Steering Wheel Upgrade 2014-Up Sierra/Silverado

[@Frosty2739]

Because of you and P Gamboa, I officially have a heated steering wheel! Thanks for the clear and informative video!

[@kevefox]

You’re very welcome!

[@louisp.3332]

EXCELLENT!!! Top notch instructional video :) Very articulate and down-to-earth so anyone can follow :) I only wish ALL DIY videos were like yours.

I am going to buy a new truck and love the heated wheel on the 2020 loaner I have ans thought to myself, " I should contact Phil Gamboa." Quick search and found this video and you already contacted him! He is an amazing asset to the GM forums and sites. Great video! Appreciate you making this for all of us. Cheers.

[@kevefox]

Thank you! Lots of exciting new stuff available through WAMS now too.

[@philgamboa2906]

VERY well done! Wish i had snap ring pliers! LOL. I found removing that to be the hardest part. It fought me for 20 minutes! The 2nd hardest part was removing the bottom shroud cover. Didn't realize the tile lever handle came off like that! Nicely done! I think this video will really help those on the GM-Trucks forum be more comfortable with this upgrade. Just a side note: There are some trucks out there with the 2-pin mate connector down below to plug into, but GM didn't continue that run into the fuse panel. So while present in some, it may not be hot. Great details on this!

[@kevefox]

Phil Gamboa thank you, and again I really appreciate the advice on the wiring. I now have all of the console parts but I need to find time to get it installed.

[@philgamboa2906]

Time - such a commodity these days :)

[@kevefox]

Phil Gamboa I forgot to mention about the snap ring thing. My wife and I changed out her F550 front wheel bearing on I25 in Casper Wyoming when it was like 10 degrees out. I think it took at least 45 minutes with a Leatherman and a flathead screwdriver to remove the damn snap ring! I had like 10 different ones at home in our nice warm garage....250 miles away.

Unfortunately the 2014 yukon steering wheel is totally different from the one in your video. Can this be done in the 2007-2014 Yukons.

[@AlanTrades]

How come some guys didn't get power to the heated wheel and they had to run a hotwire from the fuse box on the driver side?

[@AlanTrades]

So you didn't have to run a separate power line to the heated wheel? Some videos show no power to the heat even with the clock spring upgraded

[@etmccaus]

Man, I wish I'd seen your airbag trick...did my swap about two years ago, and had no real issues but that airbag was a *bear* to get off. Working blind, etc. The cell phone...gah. Coulda, shoulda, woulda...

[@jefereyes3589]

I found a wheel at a good price, but it has another button (Collision Alert?} above the heated steering wheel button. Does it matter? Thanks!

[@kevefox]

Nope, just an extra option (I believe). Since there are only two clock spring options (with and without heat) I’m pretty sure you’re good.

[@mitchellgiebelhaus8020]

The clock spring must be replaced for the upgrade?

[@huckleberrylarry3186]

If I’m replacing a work truck steering wheel with a basic leather wrapped wheel, do I need to replace the clutch spring ?

[@SteveHartmanVideos]

so if the truck doesn't have the heated wheel "option" say like a 2010 tahoe, can that plug just get connected to 12v and ground? are there other wires in that heated steering wheel cable such as a trigger to turn it on (when the car starts)?

[@kevefox]

I know that some vehicles do have a preset for heated/cooled options upon remote start but I don’t think these have that ability. As far as the 2010 goes I’m not sure but it’s likely very similar (power and ground)

[@tonyt896]

A couple of questions.... Why didn't you disconnect the positive battery terminal?? Where is the best deal on the parts needed?

[@kevefox]

Disconnecting the negative works the same only if you contact your wrench to ground while loosening the terminal you won’t damage anything. First look up the correct part number by searching on a GM parts website, then google, eBay and Amazon with those part numbers.

[@jeffedgington6324]

I'm wondering if the clockspring part number listed in the video supports collision alert? I need the clockspring to support heated steering wheel and collision alert (as well as the other controls that are normally present)

Here is a question, is this possible with the 07-13 models? I want to upgrade to a newer wheel(14-18) and this would be ideal. I've watched both videos and seem possible with some slight wire changes on connection harnesses. Please, make that video :)

[@kevefox]

Interesting concept. We have a ‘12 Tahoe and have considered swapping to a Yukon Denali wheel with heat. Check out the GM-trucks.com forum. There is a dedicated sub-category for your body style and corresponding mods.

[@treyhaberman]

Curious if you tried this or not? We are upgrading a 1999 obs suburban and I found a forum to swap a couple vette wheel, but I would like to swap the heated steering wheel.

[@JeffreyAshley]

Maybe I’m ignorant, but why do you have to change the clock spring?

[@kevefox]

The clock spring is basically a swivel for your wires going into your steering wheel. It makes it so that your air bag and steering wheel controls work without any issues turning and bending them every time you drive. The new clock spring has another pair of wires to power the heating element.

[@AndrewNHelgeson]

Just completed this yesterday. Excellent detailed instructions! I’m not getting any power to the steering wheel controls or horn. All the connections are tight and the heated wheel fuse is good. Would you suspect a faulty clock spring?

[@kevefox]

Yes, that sounds like the likely suspect. The ribbon inside can break easily and if it was put back in the box and returned before you got it that sounds like a pretty easy scenario.

[@AndrewNHelgeson]

[@kevefox]

It should just be a swap out. Make sure to lock the steering straight before removing the nut/wheel.

[@ItalianSA]

Clear and to the point, thanks! I've found that the steering wheel w/ the crash alert button is cheaper for some reason so that's what I purchased. Does that mean the clock spring part number will change or can I use the clock spring w/ just the heated wheel feature? Basically I'm wondering if the connector on the wheel will be different since I purchased the wheel w/ heat and crash alert.

[@kevefox]

I believe there are four different clock springs, with and without heated wheel and those for 1/2 ton vs HD. The difference between 1500s and HDs is the number of plugs on the airbag. I think the clock spring is populated for all wiring other than the heated wheel.

[@New_England_Nomad]

Hi, great video. I am in the middle of installation and I found one plug where you show the heated steering wheel on the harness But it’s different than the plug from the wheel? I assume it’s the heated steering wheel plug as I checked the fuse box and there’s purple wire in the correct spot and 7.5 fuse in for it.

[@kevefox]

That does happen. GM switched plug designs at some point. I know Phil Gamboa at Harness Dr. makes a kit. harnessdr.com I was on the road when I first responded. You can just bypass the plug altogether and hardwire it if you’re halfway through install and need to get it done. You may even be able to disassemble one of the plugs and still use the OEM pins.

Hello great video just wondering if this would also work for my 2015 Silverado LT and where do I get the new steering wheel

[@kevefox]

Yes, if the wiring isn’t there Phil Gamboa at harnessdr.com/ can help.I got my wheel and clock spring through www.gmpartsdirect.com/. Let me know if you need help looking up part numbers.

[@JustBerard]

Awesome video, I'll definitely be using it in the near future. Just have a question. My truck is already equipped with a heated steering wheel but the element has burnt out in it. Do I need to replace the clock spring or can I just get a new steering wheel and swap it out?

[@kevefox]

Just the steering wheel

[@MrJimmyBiggs]

Hey There, Do you have a parts list that you needed? I am looking at doing this so just wondering what the part numbers are. Thanks

[@kevefox]

There are different clock springs and wheels depending on which year/model you have. What do you have?

[@MrJimmyBiggs]

@@kevefox Thank You!

[@kevefox]

You’re very welcome

[@georgemendez777]

When you remote start your truck does the heat come on the steering wheel on it's own? Or do you have to turn on after you get in the truck?

[@kevefox]

Unfortunately it does not. The defrost and everything else will pop on to whatever it was set to but the seats and wheel need to be turned on with the key.

[@BackquarterSnowcruiser]

Heated seats can be set to turn on with remote start; you’ll find the option in your settings.

[@Coryiwan13]

Did you have to Align steering wheel after install? Or does the wheel only go on one way?

[@kevefox]

I believe it can go on incorrectly. I just eyeballed it and got it right.

[@mohnsy19]

Question... will a steering wheel work with the volume control and heated function work with any versions of gmc intellilink? I have a 2018 gmc elevation NON sle model so doesn't come with the newest intellilink but still the 7" screen? Hope that makes sense.. nice video

[@kevefox]

I would imagine so. The circuits do the same thing. Thanks for watching

[@jodyrolandconstruction6577]

Not going to go through all the comments so I’ll just ask. Will the heated wheel come on automatically if you have remote start? Thanks if you answer.

[@kevefox]

Nope, it has to be activated manually. The good thing is that it gets warm very quickly

[@jodyrolandconstruction6577]

@@kevefox thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@adamschutte1139]

Any chance one of you guys have a parts list for this upgrade?

[@kevefox]

Adam Schutte Just the numbers that I put on the screen. There is a difference between half ton and an HD truck though. When you look on say GM parts.com just put in your year make and model and then find the part that fits it with a Denali model and heated wheel. Clock spring is in the Air Bag section

[@michaelshaeffer3846]

Question I plan on getting the 2015 GMC Sierra HD All Terrain, used, tomorrow. One thing I love on cars in the winter is heated wheels. So I plan to use this video to help me along the way. Now I need to order the parts. Could you just post the links in the comments for each piece and all of us will be able to access it quicker? Thanks!

[@kevefox]

Sure, what color is the interior? Do you have front collision avoidance?

[@michaelshaeffer5017]

@@kevefox Sorry for the delayed response. I did a sleeper build in the bed and did a complete upholstery upgrade from cloth to a heavy duty cowhide grain leather. Which was not my idea of a good time. My truck is a 2015 Sierra 2500HD. Black interior. No collision avoidance that I know of. I did buy the wheel and clock spring which came in a couple days ago and plan to install soon when I rewatched the video and you said u had the 3500. So hoping the 2500 has all the same stuff. Feel free to reach out to me at [e-mail]. Thanks.

[@michaelshaeffer5017]

Installed and works great. The parts you used on your 3500 does work on the 2500's. I did use a multimeter to make sure the trucks heated steering wheel harness was hot before doing anything.

[@ediethesalsafreak]

Could you do this to a Honda Element?

[@kevefox]

I don’t know.i looked around for a minute and saw a few threads on the subject for Civics and CRVs. Find a Element forum and throw out the question.....might find exactly what you’re looking for.

[@shawnd.76]

I appreciate you and making this video.

[@kevefox]

Cool, thank you!!

[@UncleGreatness]

Nice video, but doesn’t look like something I would want to attempt. How much to have the dealer do it?

[@kevefox]

I’m not sure if the dealer would tackle this. What city do you live near?

[@kevefox]

Ok, sorry don’t know anyone around there to help.

[@justinhickey6717]

Any chance you could help me out so I dont buy the roung stuff I have a 2017 Silverado LT this would be sweet to have

[@kevefox]

No problem, is this a 1500 or HD?

[@kevefox]

Here are two links for parts/part numbers for a 2017 Silverado with black interior and no crash alert... www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-steering-wheel-84483768/?c=Zz1zdGVlcmluZyZzPXN0ZWVyaW5nLXdoZWVsJmk9VDI0NDA3MDQmcj0xJmE9Y2hldnJvbGV0Jm89c2lsdmVyYWRvLTE1MDAmeT0yMDE3JnQ9bHR6JmU9Ni0ybC12OC1nYXM%3D www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-clock-spring-23381964/?c=Zz1lbGVjdHJpY2FsJnM9YWlyLWJhZy1jb21wb25lbnRzJmk9R0MxNTMzNTUmcj0xJmE9Y2hldnJvbGV0Jm89c2lsdmVyYWRvLTE1MDAmeT0yMDE3JnQ9bHR6JmU9Ni0ybC12OC1nYXM%3D You can see old part numbers that the current part number replaces. You can search all of those numbers on eBay ect. For better prices or just order from them directly. The clock spring will be different for HDs

[@justinhickey6717]

1500

[@justinhickey6717]

Thanks man really appreciate it

[@staticxmako]

Why the hell won’t my cruise lights work I did this in two 2014s and the lights won’t work

[@kevefox]

You mean the backlighting for the cruise control buttons doesn’t work? If you reinstall the old wheel do the lights work? I wonder if the clock spring is bad or wired differently or if the wheel is defective.

[@staticxmako]

Tinkering Fox yes old wheel glows fine

[@marvinsanchez6802]

Anyone have a link to where i can buy everything shown in the video? Thanks for the awesome video. Just hoping i can get the parts in!

[@jamieryan8328]

Hey, do you know if all LT Silverados and Sierras have the heated wheel plug already as a part of the wiring harness? I'm in the market for a new truck and want a heated wheel, but if i can get away with an LT/ SLE and install one, i'd rather do that and save a few thousand dollars

[@kevefox]

James Ryan yes, most do, however some don’t. Good news though, Phil Gamboa on KZbin and GM-Trucks.com forum makes factory harnesses and adapter plugs, etc for just about everything you can think of as far as upgrading your truck’s trim level. Let me get the link from him for the heated wheel harness upgrade.....

[@kevefox]

James Ryan here ya go..... m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oICmdqqHmMZ-npY And...... www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/167676-heated-steering-wheel/?page=8

[@jamieryan8328]

thanks. i appreciate it. yeah, i saw a video of his about swapping gauge clusters for a denali one. i read something on the forums about having the bcm programmed for the heated wheel though. I guess i'll have to message him and pick his brain before i make my purchase. the difference in price between the LT/SLE & LTZ/SLT is like 6k. and both are optioned the same minus the heated wheel and cooled seats. I'll save the 6k and just do this then

[@jamieryan8328]

by the way. great video with the step by step. it is the perfect guide.

[@kevefox]

James Ryan No problem, and absolutely zero BCM programming for the heated wheel upgrade. Also he has just successfully added cooled seats to his truck. If you start off with heated seats it’s much easier to accomplish. Just got a figure in the price point to pick up those seats used.

[@kevinsweigart2702]

I have watched this video about 10 time. Seems easy enough but I am unable to bend like I used to and can't do it myself. Would you be willing to do it for me if you are close enough?

[@kevefox]

Well I’m in NW Montana. I would imagine a stereo shop or general repair shop would be able to handle it.

[@kevinsweigart2702]

@@kevefox Thanks. I am in Central Florida. Love your videos. And I absolutely loved Montana when I was out there on a road trip in the mid 90's.

[@MrJunior6939]

Nice video... do you know the part number in your old steering wheel I got a 2014 GMC Sierra sle and I want to replace for the same steering wheel ?

[@kevefox]

Yes, 23423449

[@kevefox]

Yes, wheel is 23423449. Clock spring is 23193463 Keep in mind that these numbers have likely been updated but should easily cross over on eBay, google, etc...

[@MrJunior6939]

Thanks you so much just need to swap the steering wheel because all the buttons are gone

[@jonienglish3231]

Good Video I hate those Air Bag CLIPS !!! How much was the Wheel ? is there a Module to tell when to Power Off wheel ?

[@kevefox]

They’re not fun, at least they’re visible. Some GMs have a little extra rubber there and it’s all by feel. The wheel was something like $250 and the wheel powers off with the ignition. If you don’t have the wiring, Phil Gamboa At harnessdr.com makes an OEM retrofit harness that plugs into the factory location on the left side of the dash.

[@abztrakGFX]

Great video bud just curious what’s an upgrade like this run¿

[@kevefox]

About $240 for the wheel and $130 for the clock spring

[@mnorby]

Great walkthrough, thank you, went easy.

[@kevefox]

Matt Norby nice! Good to hear.

[@AyeeJayy92]

Is there a way to install heated seats into a stock Silverado?

[@kevefox]

Survey says..........YES!, Dealer says NO! www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/204047-heated-seat-retrofit-possible/ From what I understand about it the Katzkin ones are the way to go. I’ll double check with pgamboa the GM wiring guru tomorrow.

[@kevefox]

I just spoke with Phil Gamboa and he told me he’s actually doing an install/retrofit this weekend on a truck that came without. You can email him at [e-mail]. There will certainly be a write up on this coming soon to Gm-trucks.com.....

[@AyeeJayy92]

Tinkering Fox omg this would be awesome!

[@Robbxmr]

Just did this on my 2018 silverado. Was plug and play. Thank you!!. Just one question. The new heated wheel seems a hair smaller in diameter, across and grip wise... Anyone else?

Robert Blais I didn’t notice but now I’m going to measure when I get home.....wait 🤣.

@@kevefox well mines the half ton. Wheel was 84353110 and spring was 23381964.. Might be different on the 3/4 tons...just something I noticed on mine.

[@daltonfox725]

@@Robbxmr Your truck is a 2018 1500 LT? And the clockspring you purchased is the 23381964, with no lights or error displays on your dash? I am about to order mine, but GM is confusing for the 2018 parts... It shows a "1st design" and a "2nd design" for the clock spring but doesn't show a difference between the two.

[@Robbxmr]

@@daltonfox725 the dealer had to do it vin specific. Although it is an '18, it was technically built at the end of '17. I guess there are slight changes from year to year. I didnt want to take a chance frying something so I had them pull up the correct one. And mine was plug and play cause I have power pedals and rear window, so the truck has the same wiring as the high country. And yes, '18 silvy 1500 lt z71 153". The only thing it doesn't do is turn on automatically like the heated seats with the remote start. The programming just isn't in the radio/controller.

[@Anthonyknutson-kl6gi]

Great video, i attempted to do this on my 18 Silverado 1500. I replaced the wheel with a heated wheel 84483768 and bought a cheap clockspring off ebay 23381964. Buttoned it all up and only the cruse control buttons work. Is there a different clockspring to use or should i attempt to replace with a OEM clockspring? Thanks

The oem clock spring made it all work, great success.
