REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental
airbag deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the cluster bezel (1) from the instrument panel. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Instrument Panel Cluster Bezel - Removal.
3. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the back of the headlamp switch (2).
4. Place the cluster bezel face down on a suitable work surface. Be certain to take the proper precautions to protect the face of the bezel from
cosmetic damage.
5. Remove the three screws (3) that secure the headlamp switch to the back of the cluster bezel.
6. Remove the headlamp switch from the cluster bezel.
