Paddle switches
The steering column switches are a single unit and therefore it is impossible to replace them one by one.
1. Remove the steering wheel. If an airbag unit is installed on the steering wheel, additional safety precautions must be observed when removing the steering wheel.
2. Remove the three Phillips screws that secure the steering column trim. You don't need to completely remove the screws.
3. Remove the top part of facing.
4. Remove the block of steering column switches together with the lower part of the steering column lining (see illustration).
5. Disconnect two multi-pin plugs and one regular (see illustration).
If the block is to be replaced, then completely unscrew the two screws that hold the lower part of the cladding.
Pushbutton switches
There are usually three push-button switches under the center vent on the instrument panel, and next to them is a pocket that is used to install additional switches. Therefore, the removal and installation of pushbutton switches may differ only depending on whether the panel is completely filled or there is still a pocket for additional switches.
6. Remove the plug to then remove the nearby switch by pushing it out from the back. If there is a pocket next to the switch, then you must first remove the pocket.
7. Remove the plug from the back wall of the pocket and unscrew the Phillips screw located under the plug. After removing the pocket, squeeze out the switch held by the spring plates (see illustration).
8. No pocket option. Remove the radio (see below), without disconnecting wires.
9. Squeeze out all switches, squeezing them from the back. The switches can be removed without pulling out the radio.
10. Disconnect the switch cover with a screwdriver, and remove the switch with pliers (see illustration).
11. Disconnect the multi-pin plug.
The procedure for installing push-button switches is the reverse of their removal.
Under the covers of the pushbutton switches there is a lamp for illuminating the symbol on the cover and another one for illuminating the inscription «On».
12. Use a small screwdriver to remove the switch cover to replace a burnt out light bulb.
13. Remove the burned out light bulb with tweezers and insert a new one in its place (see illustration).
On all-wheel drive vehicles, the off-center console has a push-button switch for locking the differential of the rear suspension wheels. Its design and removal and installation procedure are the same as for the switches on the instrument panel (see illustration 15.0).
Switches for automatically adjustable mirrors and power windows
Switches for automatically adjustable mirrors and power windows are located on the panel at the top of the armrest.
