Steering wheel position sensor fix

2007 Silverado (New Body) Steering Wheel Sensor issue
I had the same problem on my 2009 Yukon Denali. After some research, it appears the steering column and wire harness parts is the same as the 2013 on the GM Parts Now webpage when i search using the year/make/model. So I ordered part #19418403(replaced 20910871). The SWPS wire harness has 6 wires in a 8 port connector. It plugged into the 8 pin SWPS without any issues. After installing, it fixed my SWPS C0710-00 code and Stabilitrak/Traction Control service message. I have driven approx 300 miles without any issue.
I am revisiting an old thread to see if anyone can verify if this 8 pin part will work on the 2007 Silverado. Thanks for any help that you can provide. Randy

Is the original part the same part number as the part listed in this thread?

As far as I know, my original part is #15886733/25833069. This is the 6 pin version. Randoda stated that he used part #19418403(replaced 20910871) which is the 8 pin version but that he was able to plug it into his harness and it worked for him. He had only the one post so it is likely he is no longer around...Randy

Ah, I see.
I'd personally want to understand the pinouts on each before trying this . . . but I'd guess that GM didn't change anything between 6-pin and 8-pin, and probably just added something.

Yes, at first I didn’t think it would even plug in because my old SWPS had a grooved plug. I bought it anyway and figured I’d try to get it because I’d already pulled my column down. When I fitted it, my harness was a perfect match. Two days and no issues so far.

Just found out that I have a bad Steering wheel position sensor. Bad news is it is one that they do not make anymore and there seems to be no part that replaces it. It is part #15886733. I am getting a “Service Stabilitrak” warning on the message center and the service light is on. The Mechanic I use said he just changed the sensor in his wife’* car but mine is a 6 prong sensor and hers was the newer 8 prong. Does anyone know where I should go from here? Feel like taking it to the dealer but know they wouldn’t have any better fix. The vehicle is a 2008 Yukon XL 2500. Great car, but I don’t want to put my wife in it with this potential issue. Heard horror stories already about brakes locking up on the road etc. I would gladly buy the part but it’* just not available! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I ended up trying an 8 pin ac delco and it fit and worked just fine
