Hello all,
Picked up a 2017 Stealth Grey a couple months back. As one of the first mods I wanted to change the steering wheel and ordered a custom one (as pictured)

I asked them to add heated steering as I live in Canada and it’s a must for me.

So my question is, assuming the two red wires are positive and the black is negative, how would I add this to the existing harness?
It would need to be added to the steering wheel buttons correct?

If anyone would know which pins are for the heated steering that would be a great help 😄

Nice wheel I’ll folllow this thread as mine is wearing over time and might consider a replacement eventually.

Where is you car from I believe all the RS sold in Canada came with the heated wheel and the control/button is on the center console below the drive mode button…

BC! I should've specified that the car already has heated steering (not retrofitting like a lot of videos/posts seem to do). Retrofitting discussions didn't really help because they are just swapping the parts not actually depinning/repining so hopefully someone with this info can shed some light on this

@Saempersun ooooh, yours is in color. I just have the physical electrical book for a 2016 focus. What is this from?

Yeah, I've got the same book too, but (1) it has some mistakes - some minor ones but still, and (2) it's not next to me right in the moment.
And this colorful pic is taken from ETIS.

Speaking of mistakes and data validity - here is the same page in the printed version. Seems to be incomplete and not quite accurate.

So I’ve got my steering wheel in hand and the actual heated steering wire is not what I thought it was above. It’s the black/blue wire harness on the bottom. Anyone got any knowledge on which pins are which for the power/ground/thermostat? The wire had a TRW manufacturer sticker on it and I tried to research with no luck

Here we've got 2 circuits - the first one for the heater and the second one for the sensor. And we've got 2 pairs of pins in the connector, each pair is of different size, and as a result, of different amp-rating.
So let's think just a tiiiiny bit, which is where...🤔
