Contents: Removal ↓ Installation ↓
Note: The steering column switches can be removed and installed either individually or as a set with a connector (the central part of the switches). Depending on the purpose of the work, the number and order of operations shown in the section should be changed. For example, you can replace any of the steering column switches without removing the steering wheel.
Removal
1. Disconnect the wire terminal from the negative terminal of the battery (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the decorative steering column trims (see "Decorative steering column trims - removal and installation").
3. If you need to remove the steering column switch connector, remove the steering wheel (see "Steering wheel - removal and installation").
4. By squeezing the spring clips of the right switch, we remove it from the connector together with the connected wiring harness block.
5. Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the switch.
6. Remove the left steering column switch in the same way.
7. With a socket wrench by 8 mm we unscrew the tightening bolt securing the steering column switch connector by several turns.
8. Remove the connector from the steering column.
9. Disconnect the two wire connectors from the horn switch contacts.
Installation
1. In random order, connect the pads of the two horn wires to the steering column switch connector.
2. Place the connector on the steering column.
3. Lightly tighten the connector mounting bolt (so that the switch position can be changed by hand).
Note: It is necessary to install the steering column switch connector in such a position that the central screw for fastening the lower steering column trim can be screwed into the corresponding hole in the connector.
4. Install the lower steering column trim in place and use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two screws securing the trim to the instrument panel crossbar.
5. Adjust the position of the connector on the steering column, achieving the ability to screw the central screw for fastening the steering column trim into the corresponding hole in the connector.
6. Having found the optimal position of the connector, unscrew the two screws and remove the lower steering column cover.
7. Without moving the connector, tighten its mounting bolt.
8. We carry out further work in reverse order.
