I guess to be totally safe, I have to run through the procedure on how to disable your air bag system before i get any further into detail on this. First remove the Air bag fuse from the Inside fuse panel. make sure your steering wheel is absoulutly strait, and your wheels are pointing strait ahead. Under the dash at the base of the steering column is a yellow wire connector, you must disconnect that connector. using a 7mm socket, remove the two hold down screws in the upper dash plate, located in the middle of the dash, under the two plastic covers. slowly pry up along the front edge of the dash plate to loosen the spring clips, once all the clips are free, lift the plate up, and pull out. Under the foam insulator, on the passanger side, there will be a 2nd yellow connector for the passanger side air bag. disconnect this wire as well.

Now you can start to replace your wiper switch. Remove the 4 screws in the steering column housing. you will need to use 1/4" socket and rachet set. the small screws in the housing are 7/32 in size. once all 4 screws are moved, slowly pry off the retainer ring around the ignition lock cylinder, and remove the housings from both top and bottom. On the back side of the steering wheel are two plastic covers. remove the covers and remove the screws from inside the wheel. these screws are 8mm i believe. once they are out, firmly grab your air bag from the center of the steering wheel. slowly pull it away to reveil a yellow connector on the backside. carefully (they are fragile) remove the connector from the air bag. Place the air bag in a safe spot, usually in the back seat, so it is not disturbed. Once inside the wheel, if you have curise control, disconnect the wireing, also disconnect the wireing to the horn switches, and any other connectors that come through the wheel. Remove the large hold down nut in the center of the wheel. I believe this is a 21mm nut. Using a Steering wheel removal tool, remove the wheel. Once the wheel is removed, you will see in the center of the column, a round unit with lots of stickers. this is your air bag positioning sensor. please note the location of the white nylon sleeve down the center, it uses two different size tabs to line up inside the sensor. remove the 3 holding bolts, and slowly pull the sensor out, making sure not to turn it at all. place this with the air bag, so that nothing can disturb it. From here, remove the 3 hold down bolts in the multi-combination switch along with the wireing harnesses. the switch assembly should pull off easialy now. Installation is reverse of removal. Please use all caution when installing the air bag components.
