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 bezel and cannot be serviced separately.
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the center bezel from the instrument panel and place it on a work bench.
3. Remove the screws that secure the accessory switch bank (4) to the back of the center bezel and remove the accessory switch bank.
