Where to get a 7.5 fuse for steering wheel heater

Lyons00 · October 13, 2019

Hi,

I've looked all over and can't seem to find a 7.5 fuse for my 2019 Silverado #22. Any suggestions thanks?

Thank you, Jerry

Use a 5A in the interim.....just as safe as the higher value fuse. What's the worst that can happen?

If it blows you're no worse than when you started and might point indicate there's a problem in the circuit.

If it doesn't it's there's no problem in the circuit and will give you operation until you can find one.

I guess you live on the moon, Advance Auto, Auto Zone and evening Amazon have them here.

Dealer will have them.

The places you mentioned said it doesn’t fit my truck. Thanks

Spend a buck and try it, there are basically only 2 types of fuses usually.

Have you looked at the spares on the driver side fuse box?

Not any more......there's 4 including the micro2 which is the 7.5 in the photo ...... permits loads more fuses in a smaller box. The heated steering wheel is a micro2....had a hard time finding a fuse tap for that size, let alone a fuse. Reused the 7.5 for the main fuse in the micro2 tap and a 5 for the pigtail feeding the self dimming mirror I added......the heated steering wheel fuse is an excellent place for an ignition controlled tap.

Only place I found my mico2 replacement like my 7.5 was in an expensive set
