Note. Steering column switches can be removed and installed either individually or assembled with a connector (central part of the switches). Depending on the purpose of the work, the number and order of the operations shown in the section should be changed. For example, you can replace any of the steering column switches without removing the steering wheel.
Removing
1. Disconnect the wire terminal from the negative battery terminal.
2. Remove the decorative lining of the steering column.
3. If you want to remove the steering column switch connector, then remove the steering wheel.
4. Squeezing the spring clips of the right steering column switch, remove it from the connector together with the connected wiring harness connector.
5. Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the steering column switch.
6. Similarly, remove the left steering column switch.
7. Using an 8 mm socket wrench, unscrew the coupling bolt for fastening the steering column switch connector by a few turns.
8. Remove the connector from the steering column.
9. Disconnect the connectors of the two wires from the contacts of the horn switch.
10. Defective, broken steering column switches must be replaced.
Installation
1. In random order, we connect the connectors of the two wires of the sound signal to the connector of the steering column switches.
2. We put the connector on the steering column.
3. Slightly tighten the coupling bolt of the connector (so that the position of the steering column switch can be changed by hand).
Note. It is necessary to install the steering column switch connector in such a position that the central screw of the lower steering column trim can be screwed into the corresponding hole in the connector.
4. We install the lower trim of the steering column in place and use a Phillips screwdriver to wrap two screws securing the trim to the cross member of the instrument panel.
5. We adjust the position of the connector on the steering column, achieving the possibility of wrapping the central screw for fastening the steering column lining into the corresponding connector hole.
6. Having found the optimal position of the connector, unscrew the two screws and remove the lower trim of the steering column.
7. Without shifting the connector, we tighten the bolt of its fastening.
8. We carry out further work on installing the steering column switches in the reverse order of removal.
