  Q: How to Install a Dimmer Switch for Multi-Function Use on Jeep Patriot?

  A:

  Turn off the car's Supplemental Restraint System before connecting anything by disconnecting the battery negative cable for two minutes to discharge the capacitor. Place the multi-function switch to the left of the connection bracket within the Clock Spring and link the jumper wire harness connector to the connector receptacle on the left side of the switch. Place the slide tabs on the switch housing over the channel formations on the bracket and slide the switch in so it is securely resting in the bracket. Attach the tab at the front of the left multi-function switch to the mounting bracket with screw 2, but tighten it only to 1 Nm (10 in. lbs.). Join the instrument panel wire harness onto the switch housing receptacle, secure the upper and lower shroud shrouds onto the steering column and lastly reconnect the battery negative cable.

  Q: How to Service a Dimmer Switch on Jeep Patriot?

  A:

  Disconnect and isolate the negative Battery Cable and then wait two minutes so that the system capacitor discharges. Take off the upper and lower shrouds first from the steering column. Second, separate the instrument panel wire harness connector from the connector receptacle mounted on the back of the left multi-function switch. Unscrew the left multi-function switch on the bracket to remove it. Pull the switch outward from the Clock Spring so that the slide tab on the housing can no longer touch the channel formations on the bracket. After that, separate the jumper wire harness connector from the inboard end of the left multi-function switch and take out the switch from the Clock Spring.
