Next, depress the retaining tab and remove the
Ignition key cylinder by pulling the key and cylin-
der straight out of the column together (Fig. 13).
(b) Disengage the latch hooks on the back of the
clockspring by lifting the clockspring slightly to
clear the column housing with the top latch hook.
Next, lower the clockspring slightly to do the same
for the lower latch hook (Fig. 14). Remove the
clockspring from the column.
(c) Remove the two screws securing the multi-
function/windshield wiper switch to the steering
column (Fig. 15). Pull the switch straight away
from the column to remove it.
(d)
If the column is equipped with a SKIM,
remove the module from the column by removing
the two mounting screws and sliding the SKIM off
the non-halo trim ring (Fig. 16).
(e) Remove the non-halo trim ring from the col-
umn by unclipping it from the ignition cylinder
housing (Fig. 16).
(f) If necessary, remove the ignition switch from
the steering column by first removing the mount-
ing screw (Fig. 17). Once the screw is removed,
pull the switch straight out away from the column
ignition cylinder housing.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
(1) If the steering column is being replaced, per-
form the following on the column before installing it
on the vehicle:
(a) Ensure the ignition switch is positioned in
the ON position if the ignition switch needs to be
installed.
(b) If necessary, Install the ignition switch on
the steering column by pushing the tapered end
onto the shaft and steering column ignition cylin-
der housing. Install the screw securing the switch
to the column (Fig. 17).
(c) Install the non-halo trim ring on the column
until its tabs snap into place on the ignition cylin-
der housing (Fig. 16).
(d) If the column is equipped with a Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module (SKIM), install the module on
the column by sliding the module onto the non halo
trim ring and installing the two mounting screws
(Fig. 16). Tighten the mounting screws to a torque
of 3 N·m (25 in. lbs.).
(e) Position the multi-function/windshield wiper
switch in onto the top of the column and install the
two screws securing the switch in place (Fig. 15).
(f) Place the clockspring onto the end of the col-
umn engaging the clockspring latch hooks into the
column (Fig. 14).
(g) Install the ignition key cylinder in the steer-
ing column. To do this, first position the key cylin-
der in the ON position (with the key in it) so the
retaining tab can be depressed. Push key cylinder
into the column ignition cylinder housing until the
retaining tab locks into place (Fig. 13).
NOTE: When installing a tilt column, do not release
the tilt lever from the locked position until after the
column is installed on the instrument panel.
(2) Install the steering column into steering col-
umn access opening in the lower instrument panel.
(3) Align the slots in the mounting brackets on the
steering column with the studs in the instrument
panel (Fig. 9) Loosely attach the column to the
instrument panel lower mounting studs using the
two lower mounting nuts.
(4) If the vehicle is equipped with a SKIM, Con-
nect its wiring harness electrical connector (Fig. 12).
(5) Connect the wiring harness electrical connec-
tors to the multi-function switch, windshield wiper
switch, and ignition switch (Fig. 11).
(6) Connect the wiring harness electrical connector
to the clockspring (Fig. 10).

(7) Lift the column into mounting position on the
instrument panel and install the two upper mounting
nuts (Fig. 9). Tighten all four (upper and lower)
mounting nuts to a torque of 17 N·m (150 in. lbs.).
(8) If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
transaxle, connect the automatic transaxle ignition
interlock cable to the steering column by pushing the
end of the cable into the back side of the ignition cyl-
inder housing until it snaps into place (Fig. 8).
(9) If not already positioned, position the steering
column shaft in the correct position for mounting to
the lower coupling. To do this, turn the steering
wheel end of the shaft until the missing spline area
on that end of the shaft faces straight up.
(10) Verify the front wheels of vehicle are in the
STRAIGHT-AHEAD position.
NOTE: Do not tighten the coupling pinch bolt any-
time the vehicle is not at curb riding height. It may
cause unwanted conditions within the steering col-
umn if the vehicle is suspended in any manner
when the pinch bolt is tightened.
(11) Reconnect the steering column lower coupling
to the steering column upper coupling (Fig. 7). Install
the coupling pinch bolt an tighten the pinch bolt nut
to a torque of 28 N·m (250 in. lbs.). Install the pinch
bolt retainer pin.
(12) Install the knee blocker.
(13) Install
the
silencer
pad
below
the
knee
blocker panel.
CAUTION: If there is any question as to whether the
clockspring is in the centered position of travel, the
clockspring needs to be recentered before installing
the steering wheel. If the clockspring is not cen-
tered, it may be overextended, causing the clock-
spring to become inoperative.
(14) If necessary, recenter the clockspring. To cen-
ter the clockspring, use the following procedure:
• Using your fingers, rotate the clockspring rotor
in the CLOCKWISE DIRECTION to the end of
travel. Do not apply excessive torque.
• From the end of travel, rotate the rotor two full
turns and an additional one half turn in the COUN-
TERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION. (The wires should
end up toward the top of the clockspring).
(15) Ensure the three foam rubber driver airbag
retaining clip pads are still in place on the rear of
the steering wheel (Fig. 18). Replace any missing
pads.
CAUTION: Do not install the steering wheel onto the
shaft of the steering column by driving it onto the
shaft.
(16) Feed the clockspring wiring leads through the
hole in the steering wheel. Align the steering wheel’s
wide mounting spline with the steering column shaft
missing spline area and push the wheel onto the
shaft. Make sure the clockspring lines up with the
back of the wheel and does not bind.
(17) Install the steering wheel retaining bolt and
tighten it until the steering wheel is fully installed
on shaft. Tighten the steering wheel retaining bolt to
a torque of 54 N·m (40 ft. lbs.).
(18) Connect the wiring harness connector to the
speed control switch (Fig. 6).
(19) Connect the squib wire to the driver airbag
module (Fig. 6). Make airbag connection by pressing
straight in on the connector. The connector should be
fully seated. Feel for positive snap to assure positive
connection.
(20) Connect the horn switch electrical connector.
(21) Rotate the steering wheel 90 degrees in either
direction.
(22) Place driver airbag into position and firmly
snap both pins into place. Listen for the audible
click at each pin. Visually check that both pins
are properly seated between the legs of the
clips.
(23) Install the upper and lower steering column
shrouds onto the steering column (Fig. 2). Snap the
two shrouds together, then install and tighten the
two screws securing the shrouds to the column.
