Access to the turn signal switch (stalk) is done by removing the steering wheel...this is a very complicated mechanical component (many springs, bolts, etc), it is best left to a mechanic.
Answer1st disconect the battery so you do not inadvertently blow the air bag. Using a Torx #27 remove the two screws that secure the airbag to the steering wheel. Disconnect your air bag from the single yellow wire via a clip that is held in by a green safety lock tab (remove the tab disconnect the clip). Place the assembly in a secure location so it will not be damaged. Using a 21mm socket remove the steering wheel nut. Mark the location of the steering wheel with regards to its position on the geared shaft that it is mounted too. Use a steering wheel puller to remove the steering wheel. NOTE: DO NOT TRY AND REMOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ANY OTHER WAY; YOU WILL RUIN IT IF YOU DO. Using a paint pen mark the location of the airbag switch remove the snap ring and put it to the side as the wire will not allow you to put it far from the colum. A pair of snap ring pliers should do the job (various sizes exist so buy a set of good ones). The steering lock ring is what you see next mark it to its reference on the shaft. It is secured by a c clip. find the end of the clip, position it to get a scribe or an awl under one end now push on the ring to one side this will allow you to manuver the clip off the shaft. Remove the clip and ring. Next is the plastic ring with a carbon side and a copper side that acts as a conductor for the horn remove it. Next remove the plastic cover piece that is over the turn signal, wiper, cruise control switch, remove two screws that secure the lever to the turnsignal switch remove it from the colum and set it to the side of the colum total remal is not possible at this time due to wire harness. Three Torx screws secure the the turn signal switch reomove them. Next you need too remove the lower part of the dash on the drives side to access the harness from hte colum. It is located on the right side of the drivers side under the dash just above the hump before the fire wall. 7mm socket will back it out of the socket (keep backing it out until you see the the harness plug push back. One which is the upper plug is black the lower is grey and it is for your cruise, wiper washer cotrols. lift on the center of the plug and push in the direction of the recepticle this will disconnect your signal harness from the union with the other harness (sorry about the lack of nomenclature). Now you can snake the harness up the colum and out. Install in reverse order.Wiki User
