Dalinar Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 So, after some research I found on the F150 site that heated steering wheels with adaptive steering have the HSWM built into the SECM and need a new steering wheel if the heating fails on the wheel. I have a 2016 Edge Sport and I'm not finding the same info here. It just stopped working so I haven't been able to check the fuse box yet. I'm curious if anyone has had a similar issue where the steering wheel did NOT need replacing, such as the issue being a fuse, or discounting the battery to reset the system (saw a YouTube video of an Explorer where a battery disconnect reset some electronic controls, like the folding mirrors) or something similar I can check before taking it to a dealer. I searched this forum and didn't find much on the issue for the Edge. If anyone has any input I'd appreciate it! Thanks, and sorry if this is been posted/answered a ton. I'm both new here and to Ford (but I did do a search first ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineguygk Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 I am having the same problem with my 2016 edge. Did you ever figure out how to test it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The fuses are hard to get to, but I did check it and it wasn’t the issue. Apparently, the heated wheels tend to fail after 2-3 years of heavy use, and both I and the original car owner are in the PNW, so pretty much daily in the winter. I had to replace the whole wheel for about $3000 with the adaptive steering; they can look by VIN. But, for me it was worth the cost in the end. I did get another 2 year (maybe 3, I’d have to look at the paperwork) warranty on the replacement wheel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Not believing how expensive it can be, I just looked up the part number and it is indeed very expensive, wasn't expecting it. But it also seems you were charged a lot for replacing the steering wheel. Found the steering wheel for ~$1744 Edited November 30, 2021 by omar302 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeTheMayor Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Oh dear God don't tell me it's that expensive... just picked up my '18 Sport last night and it's the only thing wrong with it.. Maybe they'll be nice and fix it. Maybe......... maybe. Edited January 21, 2022 by TheyCallMeTheMayor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no third party sites with stock when I replaced my wheel like above, and I looked. In the end it was worth the cost to me, but now work is relocating me to Tampa so I'm sure it'll come in handy on those frigid 70-degree mornings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebank Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Why not just go with something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Comfortable-Electric-2200mAh-Rechargeable-Resistant/dp/B07W5Z6GCX/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=2IZFX9461H1U1&keywords=heated%2Bdriving%2Bgloves%2Bfor%2Bmen%2Brechargeable&qid=1642709140&sprefix=heated%2Bdrivin%2Bgloves%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-3-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQ0FZUksxQjJXOTBGJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTc1MTgxM0I3N0hMV1A3QzlXUiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzk2NDQxMUhJWEI4VzRLS0lHRyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeTheMayor Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) It's covered as I just bought it- verified today.. (wipes sweat from forehead after reading your $2700.xx price) PS: Italian Stig... lol Edited January 21, 2022 by TheyCallMeTheMayor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Bought a pair of electric gloves years a go for blowing snow. Powered by 9 volt battery. They do work, but I found a better way to go. Just drop in a heat pack on each glove and boot. Lasts for hours and much warmer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R629VGF/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_dl_J6CT9NYWHDWR6GECDJDY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
