Thank you! Straight forward, to the point and good detail on what to do. Any problems so far with the Amazon sourced buttons you used? Just curious how these have worked out versus the original OEM part. Not for cosmetic finish per say of old versus new, but basic quality, button feel, etc. I'm looking at the same repair in my '03 Tahoe and debating the replacement part to use.

Thanks! I try to keep my videos right to the point. My original buttons worked, but were scratched pretty bad and one didn't light up. The buttons I used I sourced from the junkyard and took a gamble if they would light up and work. I included the Amazon link for those who don't want to go to the junkyard. The junkyard ones I have look and feel just like the originals, but in better condition. I assume they are Genuine GM parts.

I’m learning English just for videos like that, in Mexico we don’t have easy, quick, and short videos like the gringos, thanks

Awesome! Glad it helped!

Just did this. Lowers were a PITA. The left one I ended up snipping off the two protruding tabs on the edges of the socket on the new button. I used an angled pick slipped through the back of the hole where the wire goes through to the center of the steering wheel. I used the pick to hold the plug tight and just got lucky that it slipped in properly to the socket. Top buttons took 5 minutes. Bottom ones took 40.

You do need to remove the air bag...I used some 10lb test fishing line,,,ran it in the back of the wire clip...left lots of slack in the line...place the knob in the hole and push real easy...while pulling both end of the fishing ling..It will pull the connection clip into place...just listen for the snap....

Wonderful and easy job. Thank you very much. I got advantage of it. It’s pleasure to be subscribe and give it like for your video.

Upper easy to replace as there is just enough slack in wire if your carefull. Lower buttons you need to remove the wheel. Which is easy to do video on here showing it.

You can also take the switch apart and then rebuild it in the steering wheel socket.

These steering wheels fit on a 01 gmc Sierra?

They aren't a direct swap. From what I've read, the steering shaft is a different diameter and you would need to swap the whole column, or take them completely apart and swap the spline machined shaft.

After removing horn/airbag assembly, and reconnecting horn now does not work. Any advice?

Did you not disconnect your battery Michael?

Does the switch have the lights inside or is that a separate thing

@baldeaglegarage

Yes, the lights are inside the switch. They are all one assembly. Usually the lights go out before the switch does. That’s the gamble with the junkyard, you don’t know if the lights work or not.

Yeah I definitely recommend disconnecting the battery. You don't want that airbag to accidentally go off while you're handling it.

I was able to do mine without removing the airbag. It was a pain in the ass but I got it done.
