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, airbags, airbag curtains, knee blocker, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS)/negative battery cable assembly from the negative battery post, 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.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative cable from the battery. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector before disconnecting the negative cable from the battery.
- Working from the back of the steering wheel, unsnap and remove the remote radio switch cover (1) from the remote radio switch.
- Remove the fastener (1) that secures the remote radio switch (2) to the steering wheel spoke armature.
- Carefully remove the remote radio switch (2) away from the steering wheel spoke armature.
- Carefully disconnect the remote radio switch connector (1) from the remote radio switch (3) and release the wire harness from the harness retainers (4) on the remote radio switch.
- Release the remote radio switch (3) from the retaining tabs (2) on the remote radio switch bezel and separate the remote radio switch (3) from the bezel.
