Do I need to be re-calibrated or do I have an actual problem? My heated steering wheel gets nice and toasty when I turn it on, but it seems to turn off after it's been on for a while. I've not timed it, but it seems to go cold after 15 minutes, then warms back up. Does your do this or do I have a faulty wheel, element, control, etc...

 

It's probably thermostatically controlled and turns off at a preset temperature or after a given period of time. Your owners manual should address it.

 

Yes mine turns off and on, I believe it is controlled as it does not have settings like the seats do. Mine does not go cold though it is always warm just warmer at times.

 

I have an F250, mine turns off after several minutes.

 

Sounds like normal operation for the application. Heated mirrors usually have a timed switch as well.

 

Mine stays on until you turn it off. If yours is shutting off something is wrong
