Attention! Vehicles are equipped with safety systems (SRS), including airbags and seat belt tensioners. Before working near the impact sensors, instrument panel, and steering column, disconnect the negative and then positive terminals from the battery and wait 2 minutes. This will prevent unauthorized deployment of the airbags and seat belt pretensioners, which could cause injury.
Replace the combined steering column switches as follows:
Turn off the ignition and disconnect the ground wire from the battery.
Remove the steering wheel.
Remove the steering column covers.
Disconnect the electrical connectors from the combination switches.
