REMOVAL

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.

NOTE: The heated seat switches are integral to the Accessory Switch Bank Module (ASBM) and cannot be serviced separately. The complete ASBM assembly must be replaced.





1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

2. Remove the center bezel from the instrument panel.

3. Remove the four screws (1) that secure the ASBM (2) to the back of the instrument panel center bezel (3) and remove the ASBM.
