I have been wanting to install a heated wheel in my '14 Big Horn. I have searched through many threads on here and this is what I saw so far:
'I've done it on a 2013 R/T. It wasn't that hard but it is expensive. If you do not have the harness already I would think it is nearly impossible to do. You can easily find this out by popping the top of the steering column off and looking for a wire with a blue plug closest to the center of the cab. It will be plugged into a dummy plug on the rear of the clock spring. If it's there then you are set.'
You will then need the wheel rim, clock spring, internal steering wheel harness, and switches for the dash.
You take you existing steering wheel off, remove the plastic pieces from the front and rear and then remove the internal harness. You then replace the harness with the one you bought as it will have plugs for the heated rim. Put everything back together and then replace the clock spring. The turn signal stalk is just a module that plugs in. Now re-install the steering wheel and then add the switches.'
'I did find that if you want to add the steering wheel pretty much the SLT's and up I know are already wired. Just need the clock spring, heated wheel, and the switch and it should work.'
Again, this is for 13's and up. I am not sure about the tradesman or express. You can easily tell though. Remove the upper steering column cover and if there is a blue plug just plugged into a blank, that's it.'
'Not sure if anybody is following this. Just wanted to add I put in the switch panel and the seats and steering wheel heat up as they should. They even show right up on the 8.4 display when you push the button to turn them on.'
I know I need the wheel and the dash switch plate. What I am not sure is do I need a new steering column wire harness, and do I need a new clock spring.
I have all of the part #'s except for the clock spring. Does someone have that? Also my dealer mentioned I might need a new Steering Column Control Module, part # 68110740AD, but I don't see that mentioned anywhere on here. Is the control module the clock spring?
One last thing, from what I am seeing the computer does not need flashed for the to work, is this thought correct.
Any help would be appreciated as I really want to do this, and don't want to order any unnecessary parts.
