Screw the new column switch into place.
Be sure to align the top and bottom carefully and
snap them together.
With everything put back together, this is what it
should look like.
Install the new steering wheel. Be sure to align the
mark on the steering wheel with the mark on the
nut on the other side. Remember it will be installed
sideways as shown since this is the position the old
wheel was taken off in.
You may have to manually turn the center of the
clock spring as shown in the next step – to align it
with the cut out in the steering wheel. Once
aligned, push back the new wheel and tighten the
center nut.
Reconnect the airbag connectors and new red
connector for the heated steering wheel as shown.
