Remove all the screws as shown in the pic. The

With the glovebox out of the way you should have
access to the fusepanel.
Remove the 4 screws as shown to release the fuse
panel. Push it back and down out of its place. You

relay. This is where your new relay should fit for the
heated steering wheel. Simply push the relay into
place – it only fits one way so you can’t put it in the
wrong way.
