Heated Wheel Retrofit

[GDK]

I apologize my ERROR here!
Dug even deeper and found this Video...what a Job this is. This Guy must have a Trim Tool Degree and a lot more patience than most, not one broken Clip? No wonder the Dealers are acting like they never heard of this.

I have studied this pretty hard and still confused. The above link to the Ford Dash Control Unit seems like it would never work as it just does not have enough Buttons on it?
I'm thinking you need a Clock Spring, Jumpers and a Wheel that has Heating Elements in it. Then ForScan helps you reprogram the Touch Screen which adds the 0n-off button for the new Wheel?
Getting Cold...thanks!

Everything you really need is summarized perfectly in this post:

Heated Wheel Retrofit

Ok. All done. Digital readout working. Needed FDRS when Forscan wouldn’t work. Did ambient light while I was at it. Have some extra parts that I collected on this journey. 2 HSW HVAC units (no digital temp readout) and 1 Raptor steering wheel. I’ll probably be posting them for sale soon if...

No jumpers involved or anything like that. The trim comes off with relative ease.

I just swapped out my HVAC non Digital control with a Digital one. I have my original non digital with the HSW button if you’re interested.

I'm interested if @GDK doesn't want it.

I just had this done at Galpin Auto Sports. The wheel has the heater element in it. You need to replace the clockspring and the SCCM module and it's good to go. Forscan programming as well but the wheel 100% has the element in it

Got my Heated steering wheel, cup holder lights, media bin light, and glove box light installed this weekend! Big shoutout to @ekalb, who agreed to meet up and help me install everything (but basically did it all by himself -- haha). You're now an expert at this job my friend! haha!

More than happy to help out anytime! I was sweating it a bit thinking I forgot a few steps, but it went really smoothly. You are hands down one of the more fascinating people I have ever met!


Note to others, if you get a chance to meet Draptor13 in person...take it

Do the cupholder lights require forscan changes or just connect to an existing harness?

Ambient Lighting Installation Part 1

Ok Gang, here is the install for the ambient lighting pieces. All credit goes to JHForman over at gen14 for the two harnesses and wiring diagram. If you want the harnesses from him, email at [email protected] he charges $80 and that includes shipping. I ordered the parts from OEM Ford Parts...
