Ok.. Yeah then you can try this with your HVAC module you have but

733-01-02
XXX8 XXXX XXXX

Add 8 to whatever is there. Probably a 1 so make it a 9

See what happens

that gave me the option to switch in the button, thank you but now I still have the problem of constant heat, I’m using pin 15 on the lowest connector on the BCM is this the right one?

I think you may have swapped positions at the sccm. Double check the PIN numbers and what they are at the sccm

That makes sense I will give that a try

I swapped the pins and no heat with or without input from the screen?

You may have to wait some time to actually tell if you have heat or not. Its not exactly like it gets frying egg hot. I dont know what temp it is where you are at also it may not be super noticable until its cooler. Make sure you have Pin 2 as Power. It may have been getting super Hot before because it wasnt limited by the temp limits in the SCCM

Understood, I had to run into work so I will give it a try later.

You were right i had the wires swapped, i appreciate all the help. The new wheel heats up nicely.

So I just ordered a 302a xlt powerboost and hope to add the steering wheel. What’s the chances you guys would make a start to finish video or instructions with what worked for you with part numbers to be able to do this?

If you pm me i can definitely walk you through it, i had a ton of help from jesse and superfordman. the install is still fresh so i can help you out the most i can.

Well I just ordered my 23’ so your help would be required in maybe February or March lol. I researched a bit so if someone put something consolidated together it would help a lot of other guys I’m sure. I could start ordering parts though. The price for a lariat was ridiculous, MSRP on my xlt was $72k! So this will be worth it

When i get some free time from work im definitely going to put something together.

I am in the process of trying to figure out how to turn my 501A into a 502A, so this is a very relevant thread for me.

So far the parts that I have required, specific to my Lariat are:

Heated Wheel - ML3Z-3600-RA
HVAC module with heated wheel button (PN?)
Airbag Contact Assembly - ML3Z14A664B

I understand there is some wiring that needs to occur as well. Is this list accurate/complete? Also, I am semi-familiar with FORScan and understand changes are needed there as well

If you have heated and cooled seats and the truck is a 2021 you'll probably need this button control.
ML3Z-19980-K ford replacement parts or ML3T-18C612-DE can be found on ebay as an OEM factory leftover part.

You may also need to replace your SCCM if it doesn't have the connector on the back of it. I was considering doing this as well, but it all started to get very pricey, way more than just the $160.00 steering wheel.
