WARNING: 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 and 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 follow these instructions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.





1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the defroster grille (2) from the top of the instrument panel Defroster Grille - Removal.
3. Disconnect the wire harness connector (3) from the sun sensor assembly (1).
4. Remove the screw (4) that secures the sun sensor to the bottom of the defroster grill and remove the sensor.
