REMOVAL

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system 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 supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.





1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the cluster bezel (3) from the instrument panel. Instrument Panel Cluster Bezel - Removal.
3. From the back of the cluster bezel, disconnect the vehicle wire harness connector from the connector receptacle on the back of the interior rear lighting master switch (1).
4. Squeeze the two latch features (2) on the outside of the switch body and push the switch out through the front of the bezel.
