Sun Sensor - Removal






REMOVAL

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 these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.





1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Using Trim Stick C-4755 (1) or equivalent, gently pry between both sides of the sun sensor (2) and the instrument panel (3) to release the snap clip retainers located at the front of the sensor near the windshield.





3. Carefully pull the sun sensor (2) partially out of the instrument panel (3) and disconnect the wire harness connector (1) from the sensor.
4. Remove the sun sensor from the vehicle.
