Removal
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 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.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
- From the back of the right horizontal spoke of the steering wheel (1), access and remove the screw (3) located between the remote radio switch (4) and the floating horn switch mounting screw clearance hole (2) that secures the mounting adapter plate, right spoke front bezel and speed control switch to the steering wheel spoke.
- From the face of the steering wheel, pull the outboard side of the right front spoke bezel up from the steering wheel far enough to disengage the lip on the inboard side of the bezel from under the edge of the driver airbag trim cover.
- Pull the right front spoke bezel (1) away from the steering wheel far enough to access and disconnect the steering wheel wire harness connection from the connector receptacle integral to the inboard end of the speed control switch pod (2).
- From the back of the right spoke front bezel, remove the three screws (4) that secure the mounting adapter plate (3) and the speed control switch pod to the bezel.
- Remove the mounting adapter plate and switch from the bezel.

- Position the right front spoke bezel close enough to the steering wheel to reconnect the steering wheel wire harness connection to the connector receptacle integral to the inboard end of the speed control switch pod.
- Engage the lip on the inboard side of the bezel under the edge of the driver airbag trim cover.
- Position the right front spoke bezel, mounting adapter plate and speed control switch pod as a unit to the steering wheel. Be certain that the steering wheel wire harness is not pinched.
