Double-check to make sure you took out the screws holding the faux carbon fiber trim piece on the front. If I remember correctly, there are some screws on the backside of the wheel that need to come out in order for that plastic piece on the front to pop off. It actually does to take some force...

I started with the DH wheel and got if from CJ Pony Parts. It came flawless and I really liked it, but it was bugging me wondering if there was a wiring mismatch so I returned it and found a base GT wheel to install, which I did myself on the second try. Sorry to hear your DH wheel was in such...

I did not get the paddles factory installed as doing this was out of my budget at the time I ordered the car (March 2024), but I suppose I could have waited and saved a bit longer. I have the 2024 EB, which does include the option for paddle shifters from the factory. The '25 and '26 EcoBoost...

How would I check the wiring? If I have to take the shroud off the steering column that might be beyond what I can do at home. The steering was easier than I had originally feared and that's in an easier to reach location compared to being under the dash. Someone that knows about wiring more...

That was the next thing I was going to try. Got nothing to lose at this point. I did in fact make an untouched factory back-up of the PCM and IPC modules before I made changes. Would loading the back-up factory AB actually do anything? I feel like flashing it might be a bit risky since it would...

Update #3: Well.... this is bogus. Got the base GT wheel installed and nothing! This crap has really deflated me now. Truly at a lost as to what could be the problem now. I compared the wiring in the wheel with my base and it's all the same except for the extra wires for paddle shifters. So...

Thanks... will definitely come back in here to report success or failure. I am going to try this wheel: https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-steering-wheel-pr3z3600fa It's directly from Ford's OEM parts inventory and the description says its non-adapt and not heated, but has paddles...

Update #2: So I got up the nerve to remove the airbag and check out the cables. No damage and no partially connected cables. I did disconnect and reconnect the main 16-pin cable for the giggles since it was all torn apart. No difference, but I wanted to try. The paddles do not register inputs...

I was fully aware of the possibility. It was a risk I took. I can be the "go-to source" all day. I am not ashamed of that. That's how we learn things. Of course after digging around more, I found a Ford OEM website that sells new OEM steering wheels. If I am not mistaken, the steering wheel...

The shop that did it for me had taken my base switches on the left side and put it on the Dark Horse wheel, so that part is the same. They didn't call me saying the switches were dead or that they had problems, but they did complete the work in about 1 hour, so I suppose they could have lazily...

That was my next guess. I was leaning towards a hardware problem too. What would I look for if I attempt to take the airbag off? Loose connection? An unplugged cable? That's probably obvious. Other than the non-functioning heated wheel cable, everything should be plugged in as you would expect...

I may very well start over and get a base wheel. I actually was going to go with a base GT wheel orignally because of the recommendation from that video. I watched it, so I know what you mean. The reason I settled on the Dark Horse wheel is because it's brand new, and as I looked through ebay...

These electrical charts are going to scramble my brain a bit. lol How would I identify a fault? How would I test it? I was trying to find diagrams of the steering column wiring or something similar, so thanks for posting this. Also, is that connector in the charts the data cable under the...

So... update: Went back and forth via DM with someone and tried the FORScan codes all over again. Annnnd... still not working. This time I tried loading the PCM module into the live data screen and found entries for SST_U and SST_D for the +- switches (paddles I assume). When I engage the...

Interesting. Thanks for the link and response. I will use it as a reference when try it again. Making the changes before installing the wheel may have made a difference in my case, but I can't revert back now, and I don't trust myself to take the airbag off to test this. From vids I saw on...

Hey there everyone! I need help somethin' fierce! Been a lurker for quite some time, but now it was time to make an account and ask. First post, so here it goes! I've been doing basic addons to my 2024 eco 'stang (trunk spoiler, carbon fiber side mirrors, rubber floor mats, etc). Now I decided...
