  How to Service a Dimmer Switch on Dodge Durango?

  A:

  Before working on the combination switch, you should first disconnect the negative battery cable, wait two minutes and repeat the process after waiting so that the air bag doesn't deploy accidentally. Start by taking out the driver air bag on the Steering Wheel and unlinking the steering wheel wire harness connectors from the upper Clock Spring connector receptacles. Guarantee that the screws holding the puller are tightly fitted in the steering wheel armature and are not hurting the Clock Spring. Also, take out the steering wheel, unscrew the securing bolt on the steering column knob and pull the knob out of the tilt actuator on the left side of the column. From beneath the steering column, remove the two screws on the sides nearest the upper shroud and inward pressure on each side should remove the upper column shroud from the mounting. Remove the upper shroud from the lower shroud, then unscrew the center screw holding the lower shroud to the steering column and remove the shroud. Open the wiring connector at the back of the multi-function switch housing and take out the two screws that fix the switch to the switch housing. Finally, pull the switch control stalk toward the left as you pull it out from the mounting housing.

  Q:

  How to Install a Dimmer Switch on Dodge Durango?

  A:

  Before installing the combination switch, make sure the supplemental restraint system is disabled by removing the battery negative cable, leaving it off for two minutes to drain the capacitor. On the left side of the multi-function switch, slide it into the multi-function switch mounting housing so that the alignment pins are correctly engaged. With two screws, lock the switch into the bushings and tighten them at 2 Nm, adding the wire harness connector to the end of the switch. Set the lower shroud onto the steering column and connect a center screw down below, carefully adjusting it to 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.) tightness. Lay the upper shroud onto the lower shroud, pressing the gearshift lever gap hider in place, then snap them together and hold by hand to secure them. Secure the upper shroud to the lower shroud by installing and tightening two outboard screws, both to 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.). Fit the knob onto the actuator of the tilt adjuster and fix it with a screw turned to 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.) Before attaching the Steering Wheel, place the yellow rubber booted engagement dowel from the Clock Spring rotor between the two hub fins at the steering wheel's armature. Attach the steering wheel to the steering column and plug the steering wheel wire harness connectors back in, keeping the harness aligns properly. After that, put the driver air bag back into the steering wheel and reattach the negative battery cable.
