Speed Control Switch - Installation

INSTALLATION

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. Position the speed control switch pod (1) to the back of the steering wheel spoke front bezel (4).
2. Install and tighten the three screws (2) that secure the switch mounting tabs to the bezel. Tighten the screws securely.
3. Position the front spoke bezel close enough to the steering wheel to reconnect the steering wheel wire harness connections to the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) switch pod and the speed control switch pod connector receptacles (3).





4. Position the front spoke bezel (4), EVIC switch pod (1) and speed control switch pod (3) as a unit to the steering wheel. Be certain that the steering wheel wire harness is routed between the lower or upper bezel stanchions and the inside circumference of the steering wheel hub cavity so that the wiring will not be pinched when the driver airbag is reinstalled.
5. Use hand pressure to squeeze the horizontal spokes of both the front spoke bezel and the steering wheel rear cover together until all of the snap features are fully engaged.
6. Install and tighten the four screws that secure the stanchions of the front spoke bezel to the steering wheel armature within the steering wheel hub cavity. Tighten the screws securely.





7. From the back of the steering wheel (4), install and tighten the two screws (2) that secure the center spoke of the rear cover (1) to the center spoke of the steering wheel spoke front bezel (3). Tighten the screws securely.
8. Reinstall the driver airbag onto the steering wheel. Driver Air Bag - Installation.
9. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
