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.

NOTE: There are several different instrument panel upper switch pods available, depending upon the optional or required equipment content of the vehicle. Be certain that a replacement upper switch pod matches the optional and required equipment of the vehicle into which it is being installed.

2. Install and tighten the four screws (3) that secure the upper switch pod to the center bezel. Tighten the screws securely.
3. Reconnect the wire harness connector to the back of the upper switch pod.
