Switch, EVIC Control: Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING:

To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

Position the front spoke bezel (5), EVIC switch pod (1) to the steering wheel. Be certain that the steering wheel wire harness is routed between the upper bezel stanchions and the inside circumference of the steering wheel hub cavity so that the wiring will not be pinched when the driver airbag is reinstalled.
Use hand pressure to squeeze the horizontal spokes of both the front spoke bezel and the steering wheel rear cover together until all of the snap features are fully engaged.
Install and tighten the screws as needed that secure the stanchions of the front spoke bezel to the steering wheel armature within the steering wheel hub cavity. Tighten the screws securely.
NOTE:
Depending on model, there may be additional screws securing the bezel to the steering wheel.
