Unfortunately your heated steering wheel is controlled by the Heated Seat Module mounted to the bottom of the factory heated seat. The truck will not communicate with the steering wheel without it.Hey Fellas,
I have a 2014 SLT 5.7 Hemi 1500.
I'm going to be installing AFTERMARKET heated seats (I had them installed when I did leather upholstery). So, my question is:
1. What would I need to do in order to bring power to them? Is there power underneath the seats already that I could use? These are manually-operated seats.
I am also going to be replacing the steering wheel.
1. It's to upgrade to the audio controls (doing the cluster, too).
2. It just so happens it is heated.
3. I have the clockspring for the heated steering wheel.
4. I have the 5.0 touchscreen and do not intend on programming it (if that's even possible); but,
5. I DO intend on replacing my hard switches below the HVAC panel. At present I think I have the traction control shutoff and one other button...the rest are blanks.
Again, not factory for the heated seats, and only a hard switch to activate the heated steering wheel. By the way, COULD I use the hard buttons on the dash for the seats as well? If not, it has the switches that are drilled into the side of the seat.
Any help with parts and process would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Maitai
