Steps
- Disconnect the battery
Switch the ignition off and disconnect the negative battery cable. Wait the interval specified by the service information before working around steering-column electrical connectors.
- Remove the steering-column trim
Remove the tilt-lever fastener and move the wheel to its service position. Remove the lower-column trim screws, lower the panel, and lift off the upper cover without pulling on its wiring.
- Disconnect and remove the switch
Release the wiring from its retaining clip, remove the switch fasteners with the inverted Torx socket, and unplug the connectors. Slide the switch assembly off the column without disturbing unrelated components.
- Install the replacement switch
Position the new switch on the column and reconnect each harness to its matching connector. Reinstall its fasteners and route the wiring back into the retaining clip so it cannot bind against the trim.
- Reinstall trim and test controls
Fit the upper and lower column covers, install the screws in their original positions, and restore the tilt lever. Reconnect the battery, then test turn signals, wipers, and other switch functions before driving.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
