You must start the turn signal switch servicing and repairing process by disabling the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Service components according to their order without detaching either the
Ignition Lock Cylinder or
Ignition Switch at the same time since this could damage the
Steering Column. Start the service by detaching the upper steering column shroud retaining clips then moving the upper steering column trim panel out of the instrument panel before removing the upper steering column shroud hard shell. The ignition switch can be detached by unlocking its two locking tabs. Connectors to the multifunction switch involve removing its screw then activating its release tab before raising the switch mechanism. The successful reinstall of the upper shroud requires tight retention of both retainer clips and upper-to-lower shroud screws since improper fastening requires installation of a new upper shroud.
