Sun Sensor - Removal






REMOVAL

Special Tools:






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. 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 possible serious or fatal injury.

NOTE: Take the proper precautions to protect the face of the defroster grille from cosmetic damage while performing this procedure.





1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Using Trim Stick or equivalent, remove the defroster grille (3) from the instrument panel and disconnect the wire harness connector (2) from the sun sensor (1).





3. Place the defroster grill on a workbench (2).
4. Disengage the two retaining tabs (1) that secure the sun sensor (3) to the back side of the defroster grille and remove the sensor.
