Hey guys my Heated steering wheel was working like 2 days ago and now it goes off after 20 seconds, I read up on other topics concerning this but it seems like i have to replace my steering wheel and that is a lot of $$$. I was hoping if anyone would know anything more since that time of those post. i don't think my thermostats off because my car reads out correct temps and the cabin temps are always ok just the steering wheel doesn't heat I was hoping it was just a fuse that popped out or burned out and it is an easy fix. The only thing i can think of is that i banged the steering wheel by mistaking getting out of the car.

Thanks in advance guys

the steering will have a separate thermostat somewhere that must be off or a programming error. Either way a dealer visit is what you need.
