Ebay strikes again... ( I remember. asking the seller if the steering wheel was heated)
So, I finally got to the bottom of the problem. The steering wheel isn't heated. The heating element is missing. The LRA has the pins for it ( I think) though, and has the vibe motor connected. I'm stuck with a steering wheel that doesn't do anything for me now. Any pointers? Can I buy the heated steering wheel and reuse the module that supports the vibe??
Here is the LRA module on my steering wheel. As you can see, the third connector in the middle is unpopulated and the wire going into the steering wheel handle is missing. All there is left is the wire for the vibe motor and the LIN and power upstream cable.
What I would like to know if this LRE module supports heating. My gut feeling tells me no but I can ask the experts here to set me straight.
