How to Maintain and Fix a Steering Column Cover on 2006 Dodge Dakota?

You should begin services and repairs of the steering column cover by reading all the necessary warnings and cautions. Trim off the retaining clips and the watch cap with a trim stick C-4755 and use them to take out the end cap. Pull out the park brake release handle, open the clip and free the release rod. Lift off the screws from the tray by holding down the release. Again, with the trim stick, C-4755 or the equivalent, take out the upper retaining clips and lift up the opening cover. Push the side clips to detach the diagnostic connector from the opening cover reinforcement. Open the screws and separate the handle from the reinforcement at the hood's opening. Loosen the two screws and pull apart the upper retaining clips with the trim stick C-4755 (or similar) to take off the opening cover reinforcement. The first step in installation is to install the opening cover reinforcement and seat all the upper clips. Attach all the screws, replace the hood release handle and screw each one in place. After that, move the diagnostic connector back into the reinforcement and secure all its edges. Lay the column cover onto the reinforcement and send the brake release rod through the hole. Make sure all the upper retaining clips are seated and fix the screws into the bottom and sides. Insert the release rod into the release handle and then clip it securely in place. Finally, put the end cap in place and seat all the retaining clips.
