Hello everyone. I apologize if this was discussed already but is there any way to install a heated steering wheel in my 03 trailblazer LTZ? Can't get my HVAC system to work properly since the mode door is manually forced to stay open for floor heat. Winter here is brutal and my hands have poor circulation. Don't think any year of these trucks ever came with one but if there is a way would like to try it.

Could the mode door be repositioned a little to get some small amount of airflow to the panel vents?

That way you could warm your hands a bit, using the panel vents as a hand warmer.

True. The issue is either have defrost and floor or no floor and just vent. The mode door is spring loaded so it stays shut since for some reason the actuator doesn't open it. I'll probably just cut off the zip tie holding it open and go back to the vents running full time. I'll try that. Thank you.
