Installation

INSTALLATION

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.

CAUTION: Before attempting to install the multi-function switch, be certain that the left control stalk is in the neutral turn signal position and the turn signal cancel actuator is in the retracted (neutral) position.




1. Position the multi-function switch (2) to the steering column (6).

2. Reconnect the two wire harness connectors (7) to the connector receptacles on the back of the switch housing.

3. Position the multi-function switch onto the steering column lock housing. Be certain that the switch alignment posts and locator tabs are fully seated on the lock housing.

4. Position the upper (1) and lower shroud halves (4) onto the steering column.

5. Align the snap features on the lower shroud with the receptacles in the upper shroud and apply hand pressure to snap them together.

6. Install and tighten the two screws (5) that secure the lower shroud to the upper shroud. Tighten the screws to 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).

7. If the vehicle is equipped with the optional tilt steering column, move the tilt steering column back to the fully raised position and move the tilt release lever into the locked (up) position.

8. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
