Heated steering wheel and SECM problems
I have a 2017 F350 Lariat ultimate. my truck was originally throwing codes for the steering position sensor causing hill descent and advance trac to disable at very random times. Ford decided to tie the sensor into the clockspring together so $1000 later, all was good. Now again hill descent and advance trac is disabling but the codes are now coming up as steering effort control module and ABS module, and heater element(heated steering wheel) instead. There’s not much knowledge online about this but i read in one post that the SECM and heated wheel issue could all be tied into the steering wheel replacement. I can’t verify last time heated steering wheel was working- but my drivers heated seat is also not working but my passenger side heated seat is in fact working. Idk if they have something to do with it or not but I’m ready to lose my mind on this so any help is appreciated 😵💫

I am having similar issues with my 2019 King Ranch (F350)
If I use the app, or the remote fob, the heated steering wheel will start heating up, along with the heated seats. But as soon as I get in the truck and push the start button, the heated accessories stop heating.
