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. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

2. Remove the driver airbag, Driver Air Bag - Removal.

4. With the switch and bezel assembly free from the steering wheel lift the assembly up and disconnect the switch electrical connector.





5. Using a trim stick (special tool # (C-4755)) or equivalent, gently pry the switch bezel retainers (2) away from the switch tabs (1) while applying pressure to the back side of the switch. Remove the switch from the bezel.
