Left: use a narrow screwdriver to pry out the retaining clip on the rear edge of the switch box (arrow). Individual switches (2) can be removed from the switch box by inserting a thin screwdriver along the switch body.
Right: Removing the power window switch on the right door is done after removing the door handle (chapter «body parts») and removing the door handle (3). Power window switch (2) can be removed after carefully disconnecting the plug.
With the instrument cluster and steering column top trim removed, one of the two headless screws is visible (2), holding the ignition switch (3) with connected plug (1) on the element with switches.
Removing the ignition lock switch
Remove instrument panel (see beginning of chapter). The steering wheel lock is now accessible from above.
Remove the protective varnish and unscrew the two small screws to the right and left of the fastening element with steering wheel lock switches.
Take off (back) switch.
When installing a new switch, make sure that the lock drive pin fits into the recess on the switch.
Screw in screws and apply protective varnish.
Ignition shorts
The ignition key must be turned in the ignition switch so that the steering lock can be released. If the steering wheel lock is defective, you must not continue driving, otherwise the steering wheel may lock while driving.
Remove the shelf on the left under the instrument panel (chapter «Salon»).
Disconnect the multi-pin plug at the ignition switch. The wire lugs that will short circuit are now free.
Connect now, for example with a paper clip, the contacts of the red and black wires to turn on the ignition
To start with a starter, build an insulated second wire bridge, which will first connect to the red-black wire.
The second wire bridge is quickly connected to another bridge and immediately disconnected again: the starter starts the engine.
Remove the second bridge, and insulate the first well so that they do not touch again with bare areas. Otherwise, a short circuit will occur, because. the red wire has no fuse.
Disconnect the red and black wires to stop the engine.
