Thank you for this video, I replaced my Steering wheel buttons multiple times thinking they were all faulty...but now you have shown me the real problem why my lights aren't lighting up.. truly truly Thank you.. 😊 🙏 Also my 06 tahoe thx you. 😊
Thank you many times! The only thing I would add is if you cut out the fuse very carefully you can pull of the push on caps for the fuse and just put in a new fuse push on the caps and tape up. I for one made the wires longer and put in a fuse holder that I can now reach above my brake pedal. Never know if you'll need to change it in the future. An OOPS! Thank You for info NO ONE KNEW anything about.
A simpler and less expensive alternative is to just get a new blade fuse, then put female spade connectors(preferably the ones with a plastic shield) at the end of the wires where you cut out the inline fuse. With a little bit of finesse, you can then heat shrink the 2 spade connectors side by side at the correct spacing to create a makeshift fuse holder. Or you can just connect the connectors to the fuse and heatshrink the entire thing or wrap it in electrical tape since it likely won't blow again. And even if it does, cutting the wrapping to get at the fuse is still pretty easy.
I had the original inline fuse still laying around from when I replaced it, so I decided to cut it open and take a look. Turns out that it's just a glass fuse directly connected to the wires. It's a 2amp fuse so that is the size you should get for the replacement. A blade fuse and 2 female spade connectors is the easiest method. Adding 2-3 inches of extra wire is also a good idea.
THANK YOU! I blew that little fuse also when I broke the clip pulling out the bottom right switch. Somehow I got it back in and the lights didn't work. Did this fix and they all work.
I have a 2007 Chevy suburban and my steering wheel controls won’t work cruise control, horn and volume for stereo do you think my truck also has that fuse you replaced
In that truck if your horn doesn’t work I know they actually have a fuse under the hood for the horn alone now if it’s not blown I would say either the clock spring could be damaged but same as this truck it’s hard to say I’m not 100 percent sure if they do
Thanks for the video. My question is if all the knobs on my steering wheel are lit, but only the vol/seek and source/prog are working and the bottom 2 are not working at all, what is the problem?
If they all light up the ones that don’t work need to be replaced that’s my guess since they do light up they are getting power to them but don’t work so I would replace the ones not working
On the topic, I had a airbag fault, disconnected the battery, replaced the two front airbag crash sensors, got rid of the fault only now after reconnecting the battery, all my steering controls quit working. Does this fuse also affect whether or not the controls work? Thanks!
@@peyton240 - yea, turned out it was my alarm system that needed reset. The alarm went in to safe mode and shuts down all gauges and running. I was able to unplug both terminals, wait a while, reconnect them negative first and it was fine.
Question Mine not only the lights don't work but the buttons as well I hit a curve and both lights and buttons stopped working and a tire service monitor come on dash will this be the problem
@@270WeekendWarrior there’s got to be another fuse then because the one I do in the video is only for the back light 💡 and only that because all the buttons worked with that fuse blown only the back light 💡 was not working so I feel like there has to be another fuse either inside or under hood that caused that issue for you not sure
@@270WeekendWarrior yea if you ever find out what it was please let me know because when this happened to me every button on the steering wheel still worked perfect so no issues in that part
Hey bro inhave a question i just installedthis exact steering wheel and column on a 2000 model chevy and i want to light up the button do you know what wires cnnect for 12v and which one for ground ? Nice video
@Rafael Rosas I think I know what you mean so did you use to have a steering wheel with no buttons on it before then you swapped it for one with the buttons on it?
If all your buttons don't work it must be another fuse maybe under the hood the fuse i show in the video is for the illumination of those steering wheel buttons
I'm going to say no and the only reason I'm saying no is because mine didn't light up but they still worked just fine no issues at all so it would not illuminate but would work do all your buttons like all of them not work??
Does that fuse power the controls themselves or just the lights for the controls. My lower buttons aren't working, looks like this might be a fix. Thanks for the video!
It only powers the lights on the buttons but you can buy the buttons that are not working on ebay they are not that expensive but it is hard to put back in the steering wheel hope this helps
If you replaced the radio did you install the aftermarket module for steering wheel controls if you did not then that is the reason they are no longer working
Yes I did install the aftermarket module for steering. Volume control was working for awhile, but then it quit. Also cant change radio station from steering wheel. I can only control the volume and change station on the stereo only.
@@rjkincaid9673 I've had that issue before whatever steering wheel module you installed could of gone bad but also some how it unprogrammed the only reasons i can think of that happening
@@rjkincaid9673 i would say that steering wheel control module has a process on how to programm it i would look at that I'm not sure if the battery will do anything to it
Same idea except the diode is let's current flow one way an not the other so it don't fry the comp by using a fuse an it accidentally surges through that fuse before it blows then that's it for the electrical system lol.
In this day and age, why in the hell are they still using fusable links! Then again effing GM. They still kept using ancient ass tech up till 2002 in gauge cluster motors, air gap crap from the 50s or 60s.

It’s worth the try when this issue happened to me only the glow was not kicking on but the buttons still functioned fine
Did this end going anywhere for you

Gracias hermano my Tahoe 2006 👏👏👏

Question
Mine not only the lights don't work but the buttons as well I hit a curve and both lights and buttons stopped working and a tire service monitor come on dash will this be the problem
Not a 100 percent sure on that because on mine the buttons worked but did not light up but doesn’t hurt to try
You ever find the problem ?
When I dug into my 03 Tahoe I found two of them one was for OnStar ...
Good to know
What was the ampage on the fuse
The one i put was a 10amp the one it had was a little less than 10
Replaced mine and lights still done work anyone know what it could be ?
Did you replace just the fuse or also replace the buttons on the steering wheel as well?
@@cgrreviews7220 just the fuse but they all used to work and I hit a bump one day they all went out at the same time
@@270WeekendWarrior there’s got to be another fuse then because the one I do in the video is only for the back light 💡 and only that because all the buttons worked with that fuse blown only the back light 💡 was not working so I feel like there has to be another fuse either inside or under hood that caused that issue for you not sure
@@cgrreviews7220 yeah I’ll have to dig into it bc neither lights nor controls work and none of them gave me problems just all stopped working

@@cgrreviews7220 yes just want to light them up
@Rafael Rosas I think I know what you mean so did you use to have a steering wheel with no buttons on it before then you swapped it for one with the buttons on it?
@@cgrreviews7220 yes i swap it and i have the wires comig out from the steering wheel
I have a problem, the steering wheel buttons all stop, what do you expect the problem?
All of the buttons don't work like no functions at all?
@@cgrreviews7220 At first, the lights did not work, but now all the buttons do not perform their functions at all all stop work
Did you manage to solve it? I also have the same problem. @@abomheed
Did you manage to solve it? I also have the same problem.
@@VictorCervezaYT Hello, I replaced the entire part from the car scrap garage and installed a used part and the problem was solved.
Does that fuse make the steering wheel control work
I don’t think so because before I replaced that fuse my controls still worked but they did not light up but give it a try
Buen video amigo
Gracias
my buttons just don’t work what’s the problem?
If all your buttons don't work it must be another fuse maybe under the hood the fuse i show in the video is for the illumination of those steering wheel buttons
Would this be a reason my steering controls aren't working ?
I'm going to say no and the only reason I'm saying no is because mine didn't light up but they still worked just fine no issues at all so it would not illuminate but would work do all your buttons like all of them not work??
All of mine don’t but only 1 and it’s bottom right one do you have any suggestions?
I’m sorry light up **
You ever find problem?
@Austin Hardrick it's the steering clock spin it has a mess of wires for a harness lol haven't had time to change it yet been super busy
Thank you buddy

How much thousand five avalanche the bottom buttons work the top buttons don’t work is that the same fuse
What size fuse
I used a 5amp fuse
Nice video lol😅
Thank you
My steering wheel volume control dont work after I installed aftermarket stereo. Help!

Okay, I'll try to reset the computer by unplugging the battery overnight.
@@rjkincaid9673 i would say that steering wheel control module has a process on how to programm it i would look at that I'm not sure if the battery will do anything to it
Volume and seek lights work that's it
Glad it helped you out
Thanks, very helpful.
Your welcome
Mines came right out . Ten minutes tops
Nice I struggled slot with mine
🙌
Your welcome
That's not an inline fuse. That's a diode
Good to know
Same idea except the diode is let's current flow one way an not the other so it don't fry the comp by using a fuse an it accidentally surges through that fuse before it blows then that's it for the electrical system lol.
😂
?
theres a good chance the light itself blew
No just replaced them all 4 in the steering wheel at the same time
In this day and age, why in the hell are they still using fusable links! Then again effing GM. They still kept using ancient ass tech up till 2002 in gauge cluster motors, air gap crap from the 50s or 60s.
Trust me we I found out I was surprised too
