NOTE:

Because a new steering column combination switch is always delivered with a base carrier as a complete replacement part, the base carrier must also be removed.

The shear bolts -1- of the steering lock housing -3- must be removed in order to remove the steering column switch mount base carrier -2-. New shear bolts will be needed for installation later. Refer to the Parts Information.
