Heated Denali / Escalade wood wheel questions

[Erik G]

I have a black on black 2011 Yukon SLT

I want to add the Denali/Escalade wood steering wheel. Whats the part number? I know the dash plastic wood won't match - thinking of getting that blacked out. Along with retrofit projectors, this is really the only thing that I want to mod (for now) since I just put in my G4's (which are awesome by the way)

Anybody? I bought a Denali wheel - what do I need to do to get the heat function to work?

I'm pretty sure the last model year for that body style (14?) the tahoe LTZ was available with a heated steering wheel without the wood grain trim ring... just thicker leather... I had the project all planned out for my 2012 silverado LTZ, but then traded the truck in for my denali which came with it... let me look around and see if i can find my build sheet for that project and get you all the part numbers, no guarantees though, as this was a while ago...

in the mean time or in case i cant find it, i did most of all my research on this forum for what was needed and part numbers

 

[Erik G]

yes - I searched. Someone said something about a clock spring? My clock has a spring? I'm assuming there is actually a different spring somehwere in the wheel that creates (or eliminates) a ground? Thanks Family Truckster - any help is appreciated

Yuck! I believe that's the same pos i was looking at

 

[FamilyTruckster]

it's around $300-400 for that spring isnt it?

 

[Erik G]

$200 - but all I can tell is that it adds a two wires, positive and ground to the switch

25966964 is the part number - I see them online for about $140. I need to really look and see that this is necessary instead of just running a couple wires

sorry, been searching for my project layout... cant find it anywhere, probably left it in the truck when i sold it in case the next owner wanted to take it into action... i remember the entire project costing between $650 and $800 depending on where I got some of the parts...
