Switch location




Philips screw location

Dismount

-remove the lower Steering column cover.
-remove the top cover.
-unplug the plug
-locate the phillips screw
-now the tricky part,
I used a small flat head screwdriver, and worked the screw on an angel from the top of the column, it was only hard till it was lose, you will only be able to turn the screw 90° at a time.
Oder people recommend a philips bit, and work the bit with a set of pliers or bend a phillips screwdriver 90°. (see picture below)
-remove the switch


Mount

-put the new switch in
-put the philips screw back in
-mount the plug
-mount the steering column covers

DONE!
