One has to use a special tool and squish the lock plate to unlock and take off the retaining ring of the lock plate. On the 1995 and earlier models, the turn signal canceling cam and spring as well as the hazard warning knob and the turn signal lever arm screw have to be taken out, together with three switch mounting screws. Pull out steering column turn signal connector and if the switch is to be replaced pull out connectors from wiring harness assembly. Remove the turn signal switch assembly from the steering column, and if used alone on replacement, continue as follows. Using the needle nose pliers carefully pull the buzzer switch out of the pc board, do not lose the little retainer clip. Take out the Ignition Lock Cylinder retaining screw, rotate the key to the ON-position and pull it out of the steering column. The removal process is basically the opposite of the installation process where attention to properly connect the new switch wiring harness and to make certain that the airbag coil is well positioned. On 1996 and later models, it is necessary to remove the upper and lower steering column cover, lower the steering column if required, separate the cable tie for the switch wiring harness and plug the electrical connector. Depending on the model, there may be either three or six screws at the back of the combination switch; unscrew these to release the switch and withdraw it from the steering column, disconnecting it and the wiring harness pigtail at the same time; during the process of installation, use new cable ties to fix the new wiring harness. For the Ignition Lock Cylinder, insert the ignition key into the Start position plunge a 1/16" Allen wrench through the hole above the lock cylinder, and then, after turning the key back into the Run position; pull out the lock cylinder. Remove the upper and lower covers for the ignition switch, pull the alarm switch retaining clip with a screwdriver, then unplug the switch and the wiring harness at the firewall, and use cable ties to fasten the new harness.

In 1988 through 1994 models, start by disconnecting the negative battery cable, and for models with a Delco Loc II anti-theft audio system, ensure the lockout feature is off. Remove the instrument cluster trim panel retaining screws, disconnect electrical connectors behind the light switch, and remove the panel. Take out the light switch retaining screws and lift the switch from the trim panel. To reinstall, ensure the grounding ring is in place.

Finally, install the wave washer and the airbag coil, ensuring the lower wiring harness is taut to prevent damage when turning the steering wheel.

Operations for removal and installation of the components are divided in a sequential way starting from those parts which are located close to the upper part of the steering column. Start with the removal of the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, unless for the models with Delco Loe II audio systems the anti-theft system should be turned off. Align the front wheels towards the right direction, switch of the ignition off and take out the key. Third, pull the steering wheel off. For models from 1990 and later, set the airbag system off, then unbolt the airbag coil retaining snap-ring and the coil assembly should hang by the wiring harness. Depending on airbag coil reinstallation, center it with help of spring lock depressed while retaining the hub as it is told, and then release the spring lock. Release the horn contact bushing and spring, demold the plastic cover of the steering column, and detached the shaft lock if it is necessary to use a special U-shaped tool. Remove the canceling cam assembly and the upper bearing preload spring and, if no other part is going to be replaced, proceedings for assembly should be undertaken in reverse order while making sure that the turn signal switch is in the neutral position.
