Thank you! Straight forward, to the point and good detail on what to do. Any problems so far with the Amazon sourced buttons you used? Just curious how these have worked out versus the original OEM part. Not for cosmetic finish per say of old versus new, but basic quality, button feel, etc. I'm looking at the same repair in my '03 Tahoe and debating the replacement part to use.

Thanks! I try to keep my videos right to the point. My original buttons worked, but were scratched pretty bad and one didn't light up. The buttons I used I sourced from the junkyard and took a gamble if they would light up and work. I included the Amazon link for those who don't want to go to the junkyard. The junkyard ones I have look and feel just like the originals, but in better condition. I assume they are Genuine GM parts.

I’m learning English just for videos like that, in Mexico we don’t have easy, quick, and short videos like the gringos, thanks

Just did this. Lowers were a PITA. The left one I ended up snipping off the two protruding tabs on the edges of the socket on the new button. I used an angled pick slipped through the back of the hole where the wire goes through to the center of the steering wheel. I used the pick to hold the plug tight and just got lucky that it slipped in properly to the socket. Top buttons took 5 minutes. Bottom ones took 40.

Thank you for the clear replacement video. Just a curiosity question: When disconnecting a battery from the electrical system, you should disconnect positive terminal. Would this not eliminate the possibility of any module residual power when working on any electrical device. Thanks again, for the clear and to the point replacement video.. Peace, T

The negative cable is the one to disconnect. Thanks for watching!

These steering wheels fit on a 01 gmc Sierra?

@baldeaglegarage Жыл бұрын

They aren't a direct swap. From what I've read, the steering shaft is a different diameter and you would need to swap the whole column, or take them completely apart and swap the spline machined shaft.

Upper easy to replace as there is just enough slack in wire if your carefull. Lower buttons you need to remove the wheel. Which is easy to do video on here showing it.

Exactly I just did remove the wheel. Not worth the fight with wire slack.

Did you not disconnect your battery Michael?

Does the switch have the lights inside or is that a separate thing

@baldeaglegarage Жыл бұрын

Yes, the lights are inside the switch. They are all one assembly. Usually the lights go out before the switch does. That’s the gamble with the junkyard, you don’t know if the lights work or not.

@kolbybatten4387 2 ай бұрын

if my top buttons don’t work do you think it’s a wire problem or just the buttons being old on a 05 tahoe

@baldeaglegarage Ай бұрын

Most likely it’s the buttons themselves.

Do you have to disconnect the battery??

@baldeaglegarage Жыл бұрын

Yeah I definitely recommend disconnecting the battery. You don't want that airbag to accidentally go off while you're handling it.

I was able to do mine without removing the airbag. It was a pain in the ass but I got it done.

You do need to remove the air bag...I used some 10lb test fishing line,,,ran it in the back of the wire clip...left lots of slack in the line...place the knob in the hole and push real easy...while pulling both end of the fishing ling..It will pull the connection clip into place...just listen for the snap....

All of my buttons on the top of the steering wheel don't don't. Don't that mean the buttons or bad or the wire controlling it?

@baldeaglegarage 4 ай бұрын

Did they work before or have they never worked as long as you've had the truck? If the steering wheel was replaced and the original didn't have buttons, then your buttons won't work. If steering wheel is original and one day all the buttons stopped working, then it sounds like a wiring issue, possibly clock spring or something else. If the buttons stopped working at different times, then its probably the buttons.

@baldeaglegarage I believe it due to after market radio and not having a pac adapter for the after market radio. I don't know if they worked before me. When I bought the truck it had a missing radio due to theft

@@breadwinnerkane9661 sounds like you’re on the right track. If it’s just the radio buttons, that adapter is probably the missing link
