REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, 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 supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
NOTE: The headlamp high beam relay is installed in the Junction Block (JB) on the driver side outboard end of the instrument panel. Vehicles equipped with a Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) relay MUST NOT have a headlamp high beam relay installed in the JB.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the trim from the driver side end of the instrument panel.
3. Remove the high beam relay by grasping it firmly and pulling it straight out from the receptacle (2) in the Junction Block (JB).
