Got the truck back. Turned out to be a pinched wire at the controller under the driver's seat to be causing the issue. It was awesome having heat back!
Mind providing some direction on which wires were pinched and how to repair? If you have any insights to share it would be awesome. I would love to get the heat back.Got the truck back.

Hopefully someone can say where it is but it was circuit C92 between connectors D2215A to D2708B according to the invoice.Mind providing some direction on which wires were pinched and how to repair? If you have any insights to share it would be awesome. I would love to get the heat back.
Perfect. C92 was an open circuit so they soldered in a new wire.D2215A is the right steering wheel switch connector, and D2708B is the C2 steering wheel heating element connector.

Took it in to get the new wheel, they installed the wheel but now I need a new control module. so waiting on that to arrive and have to go back for that. Not particularly thrilled since its a lot of lost time for me.Ok, Took Truck in to the dealer, they diagnosed a bad steering wheel - Quote: ' check heated steering after a while goes off then will not come back on. remove air bag and check wiring circuit c91 and c986 within resistance spec below 3.0ohms heated steering to be at fault parts ordered." was told there was a code, but not what it was. Now I wait 1-2 weeks for the wheel to arrive.
So. truck is currently in for the new control module and a new switch on the wheel. When I dropped it off I explained that the wheel worked fine if you didn't have to turn the wheel. I asked them to double check the clock spring and they "found" the switch was causing an issue. So it stayed overnight for the switch to arrive to day hopefully. Will see what happens. So so far I have a new steering wheel, new module, and switch. I hope this solves the issue, as I cant keep missing Half a day of work to take it in. At least this time they gave me a rental.Took it in to get the new wheel, they installed the wheel but now I need a new control module. so waiting on that to arrive and have to go back for that.

Had the truck at the dealer today for this along with a couple other small issues, they ordered a new clock spring to fix the issue. Of course the part is on backorder with not ETA. Hoping this fixes it.
So they opened a star case last night. now they are waiting on a wiring harness that they "hope" will resolve the issue. Truck has been out since Wednesday. They claim to have checked the clock spring and it is fine.So, the saga continues, they installed the new parts, Module and switch, now the tests are saying it needs a new wheel again. They don't think that is the case as it just had a new wheel installed. So they still have the truck (day 3) and need to speak with the engineer. From everything I have read My guess is the clock spring needs to be replaced, but we will see what they say. On top of everything the rental they gave me is costing me 6 bucks a day because they don't pay the taxes. that makes no sense to me at all.
This is pretty much obvious that it’s going to ultimately end up being the clockspring. I’m guessing they’re throwing everything else at it first to avoid ordering a clockspring because they’re on national backorder.So they opened a star case last night. now they are waiting on a wiring harness that they "hope" will resolve the issue.

So to recap at this point it has a new steering wheel, new control module, new switch(unknow which one) and now is getting a new wiring harness( due in Monday). Issue is still not resolved.

I need a clockspring also, and my situation is similar to yours, except it’s the driver airbag squib 1. It only happens when turning the steering wheel, and I can watch the open circuit fault set in AlfaOBD while I turn the wheel.
I just checked on an ETA for the clockspring, and as of last night there are 416 backorders, 297 inbound, and no ETA on new orders.
Im waiting on a new clockspring as well. Was told a couple weeks ago it would be 4-6 weeks but based on your info here, feels like it's going to be a lot longer than that.This is pretty much obvious that it’s going to ultimately end up being the clockspring.

Your dealer can tell you if you are one of the 297 inbound. That puts you at about a week.Im waiting on a new clockspring as well. Was told a couple weeks ago it would be 4-6 weeks but based on your info here, feels like it's going to be a lot longer than that.
