REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System 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 both the upper and lower shrouds from the steering column. See: Steering and Suspension/Steering/Steering Column/Steering Column
Cover/Service and Repair/Removal.
3. Remove the screw (2) that secures the right multi-function switch (1) to the mounting bracket integral to the right side of the clockspring (3) on the
steering column.
4. Slide the switch away from the clockspring far enough to disengage the slide tabs on the switch housing from the channel formations in the
mounting bracket.
5. Disconnect the jumper wire harness connector (1) from the connector receptacle on the inboard end of the right multi-function switch (2).
6. Remove the switch from the clockspring (3).
