In a five-passenger vehicle, pull out the negative
Battery Cable from the remote battery post before opening the hood and waiting two minutes to let the system reserve capacitor discharge. Prior to working on a Concorde, take out the Instrument Panel. Disconnect a screw on the shift knob, two screws from the bezel and the connector from the power outlet before taking out the bezel. Take out the end cap on the left instrument panel, loosen the screws on the steering column cover and tug the cover backward to get the clips free. Pull the glove box door down and look for the screws in its upper and lower left corners of the bin. Open the panel on the right, take out the two screws from the left side and then remove the left panel. After exposing the ORC, push out the red CPA tab, press the locking latch and unplug the ORC 23-way connector. Remove the two screws under the driver's side module, loosen the top one, lift the module to withdraw the ORC and if the passenger side screw needs to be loosened, please do so. Put the ORC in place so the arrow faces ahead on the mounting bracket, then join it using the supplied screws, at a force of 88 to 124 in. lbs. (10 to 14 N.m.) and fasten the top screw and the two side screws on the driver's side of the chassis. Match the ORC with the 23-way CPA connector and then slide the red CPA tab in. If you are using a Concorde, finish installing the instrument panel before you check and test the air bag system. Attach the left side panel to the console by using two retaining screws, put the right panel back in place and screw the bin in the glove box before you close the door. Place the steering column cover and its two screws, the left instrument panel end cover, reattach the power outlet connector and mount the center bezel, shifter bezel and shift knob screw. You should not connect the negative battery cable before the air bag system has been properly diagnosed and tested.
