Disconnect the battery.
Disconnect the negative terminal.
Use an 8-millimeter wrench and disconnect that.
Just slide it out of the way.
I want to release the airbag.
I'm gonna use a small blunt object, like a pick.
A pick with the tip cut off works pretty good.
And just push in here.
There's a little spring that you push on that releases this side of the airbag.
Do the same on the other side.
Pull the airbag up, and disconnect the wires on the backside.
There's two clips right there.
Just squeeze those clips.
Slide the connector out.
Slide that off.
Place the airbag aside, and just make sure you put it face up.
If you see, this is how the spring works with the pick.
If you push the pick in there, you're just trying to remove that spring so you might
have to feel around for it and disconnect this wire right here.
This is for the horn.
You're just gonna grab this white tab, push down a little bit and then twist it and twist
it to the left and slide this out.
Disconnect this connector right here.
There's a little block tab right there and just use a pick or a screwdriver and slide
that connector off.
We're gonna loosen this nut up.
Use a 21-millimeter socket and a ratchet.
If you can, hold it with your knees or have a partner hold it for you while you loosen
it.
Now before I take the nut off completely, so that I don't hit myself in the head with
a steering wheel, just grab the steering wheel, rock it back and forth and it should loosen
up.
If it's really, really tight, you can use a puller, there's special pullers for these,
and take the nut the rest of the way off.
Slide the steering wheel out.
Slide these wires through.
You want to make sure this clock spring doesn't twist, which it seems like it has a lock on
it so it shouldn't move.
On the backside of the steering wheel, take this cover off.
Use a T20 socket.
Take these two screws out.
Slide that cover off.
Take some needle nose pliers and just push on this retainer right here.
Just squeeze it in.
There you go, just like that.
Move the wires.
Just slide the switch out.
You can use a screwdriver or I'm just using a Torx driver from the backside and just push
down.
The switch will slide right out.
And push down on the lock tab.
Disconnect the connector.
Slide the new switch on, lock it in place.
Slide the switch in, lock it in place.
Now take the wiring harness, reposition it the way it was and the connector.
Push that retainer back in position.
That looks good.
Take the cover, slide it over, and put the screws back in, and tighten the screws down.
Snug them down.
Take the steering wheel, slide the wires through the square opening, and line the steering
wheel up.
There is a little tab on the shaft of the steering column and a little arrow.
You want to line that up and it should be slotted.
You shouldn't be able to put it on any other way.
It should only go on one way.
Put the nut back on.
Tighten this up.
Now I'm gonna torque this nut to 29 foot-pounds.
Reconnect this connector.
Just line it up, lock it in place.
And then the horn connector, slide that in position and push it down.
It should lock in place.
Take the airbag, line the connectors up, just like that.
Just make sure the wires don't get caught on anything.
Slide that in position, lock it down.
Always reconnect the battery and snug down the terminal.
Give it a wiggle and make sure it's tight.
You're good to go.
