Multifunction Switch - Installation






INSTALLATION

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. Position the multi-function switch (1) housing over the receptacle in the mounting bracket (3) integral to the left side of the clockspring.
2. Slide the switch downward into the mounting bracket receptacle until it is fully seated and the tab (4) of the latch feature integral to the switch housing engages the access window (2) of the bracket.





3. Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (1) to the connector receptacle on the back of the multi-function switch housing.
4. Reinstall the upper and lower shrouds onto the steering column. Steering Column Shroud - Installation.
