Heated Steering Wheel
Hey everyone.
I bought a 2017 F450 the day after Christmas last year. Had 121,000 miles. Lariat, very nice. As I played with the bells and whistles, I realized that as long as I’d leave the heated steering wheel on it doesn’t heat up. I’ve tried looking up online a little bit but no luck. I checked the fuse but it was ok. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Does the heated steering wheel icon show on the Sync 3 screen for non heated steering wheel trims? (surely not...) I don't know where it is activated on the SD but I use Sync 3 to activate it on my 2017 Fusion.

You are correct at least according to the order guide. For the Jan 2017 printing, heated steering wheel was only offered with KR and Platinum.

It does light up on the climate screen. I feel like what happened is the previous owner would use the remote start a lot and never turn off the heated wheel. That’s my theory at least. I don’t know what could wear out though.

Since you purchased at 121,000, how much wear does the steering wheel have? Any chance it was replaced prior to you purchasing?

It has wear to it but nothing excessive. The leather is used but still in good shape. There’s a couple of light scratches on the silver plastic on the wheel from a ring or something. I don’t think that’s the case.

I would imagine it's possible for these to fail.
Any DTCs for the BCM?
