A: Switching off sir system is the first step to replace the windshield wiper and washer switch. Begin by taking away both steering column bracket and trim covers. Use tool to pull the wire harness off its retaining clips then detach the wire connector.

Atop the steering column tilt head assembly, position the side mounted switch mounting bracket then fasten it using 2 pan head tapping screws tightened to 7 n.m (62 lb in). Place the switch mount onto the steering column shaft before putting on the turn signal and multifunction switch together. Reattach the turn signal cancel cam with its Steering Shaft upper bearing spring. Place the switch assembly inside the brake panel if required until the locking tabs easily click together. Secure the wire harness in its clips using new straps and then join all related wires. Reposition all components from the steering column including its trim covers and restoring the sir function.
