Before servicing the
Air Bag or steering column, first separate and block the battery negative cable and allow two minutes for the system reserve capacitor to discharge. Following this, disconnect the upper and lower steering column cover assemblies. Next, take out the one screw (2) that holds the left multi-function switch (3) on the
Clock Spring's right-side. Release switch (2) quickly, pulling it clear of Clock Spring (1), so that you can remove the wires connected to the electrical connector (3). After that, cut apart the instrument panel wiring harness at the multi-function switch and take out the switch (2) from the Clock Spring (1).
