Is there a fuse for these?
You can upgrade your OE switches to LED with an easy DIY kit: https://www.ebay.com/str/gmgaugerepair/LED-Steering-Wheel-Kits/_i.html?_storecat=10570695017 Or purchase new controls with the LEDs already installed with choice of 4 colors: https://www.ebay.com/str/gmgaugerepair/GM-Steering-Wheel-Controls/_i.html?_storecat=5294336017
Where is the fuse for these buttons?
I did mine today the top ones are super easy to take out and the bottom ones are a little more difficult since the wire is shorter but thank you for the video installed some nice brand new led ones
Great video, many thanks.
You know those bottom buttons are way fricking harder than the top. Let me know when you release that video
Thanks for video!. 2 butter knives from ol lady’s dinner ware work for removing switches too. Since I was scared to remove air bag like you did it’s possible to take switch apart and rebuild it in steering wheel hole takes a little patience but I had it popped back in working in 15 mins. The bottom 2 small buttons there’s no way to hold clip and push it back in but with switch disassembled and you can get it clipped back in easy. The problem is keeping the 4 little dowels from falling out when popping switch back together.
I could tell in 10 seconds if a women drove the vehicle as the finger nails quickly scratched door buttons, steering wheel buttons etc. I was a dealer tech for decades. The clock spring for the air bag has two extra wires in it for the radio controls. They are wired in series inside the steering wheel, so one has power from the BCM and goes thru a resistor for each function. This creates a unique voltage drop across the switch, the BCM decodes the voltage coming back, then using class 2 Serial data, tells the radio what to do. You measure the resistance across the (SWC) steering wheel control connector, while key off and disconnected. Using a good digital multi meter (DMM), you start pushing one button at a time. “Volume Up” 1270 ohms, “Volume down” 294 ohms, “Mute” 823 ohms, “Seek Up” 715 ohms, “Seek Down” 1180 ohms, “Preset / Program” 9350 ohms. Yours may vary for wording as programming is changing lights/horn action when using remote keyless entry for visual or audible confirmation as trucks have less that cars. If you had a Cadillac, it may recognize driver #2 by the key fob signal, then adjust the seat, mirrors and radio station for example as the use a memory modular. Hey, better get something for $80,000 dollars! Nice video.

Did you disconnect the battery?
Bro where did you get your harness to make your steering wheel work with the stereo ? Lmk plz
Good video, TY Sir.
Great video! I bought the Harbor Freight pick set last night, and will be installing my new buttons today. Thank you for the awesome tips! I actually bought 2 sets. I put heat shrink tubing on 1 of the 90° picks so I don't short anything out when installing the connectors.
I thought this was gonna be useless until I saw you have the same exact stereo as I do. Can you tell me what interface you have to make the buttons work with it please?
EXACTLY what I was going to do. Great video, exp doing it one handed.
So when you replace the buttons the lights will work on the buttons? Or is that a connector problem?
Great video. I already had the tool set from harbor freight and changed out all 4 buttons in 5 minutes. Works great
OMFG! GET TO THE FUKN POINT
Nice Vid. Helped a lot. Thanks Rikk
