Switch, Horn: Removal: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Jeep Wrangler and 2015 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:

To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

  1. Remove the Driver AirBag (DAB) (1) and floating horn switch (3) from the steering wheel as a unit. Refer to AIR BAG, DRIVER, REMOVAL .
  2. Pull the DAB and floating horn switch unit away from the steering wheel far enough to access the electrical connections (2) at the back of the unit.
  3. Disconnect the steering wheel wire harness connector from the floating horn switch connector on the back of the switch.
    CAUTION:

    Do not pull on the clockspring pigtail wires or pry on the connector insulators to disengage them from the Driver AirBag (DAB) inflator initiator connector receptacles. Improper removal of these pigtail wires and their connector insulators can result in damage to the airbag circuits or the connector insulators.

  4. The clockspring DAB pigtail wire connector insulators are secured by integral latches and a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock to the airbag inflator connector receptacles, which are located on the back of the DAB housing. Pull the lock straight out from the connector insulator, then pull the insulators straight out from the airbag inflator to disengage the latches and disconnect them from the connector receptacles.
  5. Fully loosen each of the four captive screws (4) that secure the floating horn switch unit to the airbag housing.
  6. Remove the switch and mounting plate as a unit from the airbag housing.
