IDK, just thinking out loud

You dont need to remove the steering wheel. With the airbag out of the way and the trim pieces removed, the module is all by itself.




Just do yourself a favor. Its going to be a pain you are gonna want to "see if I can get this plastic clip up just a hair more"... dont. They are fragile and hold the module in. If i remember correctly, I had to go around a few times and slowly open up each 1 at a time till the plastic "relaxes" enough to let the module pop out.


Also... make sure you plus ALL the wires back in. I think there is just 2 or 3. But I forgot 1 and had to do it all over again.
