Hi ,
Does anyone know how to remove the steering wheel switches on a 2001 elite ?

Is it easy or a nightmare cos of the airbag ?
Any help would be great !

(Need a Haynes me thinks !!!!)

its really easy to do.

diconnect the battery 15 secs after removing the key undo 2 screws in the back of the steering wheel air bag pops off the steering contols are easy to get to once the air bag id out of the way

After disconnecting battery, go have a cuppa to let system discharge itself, 5 mins is enough to let the airbag system discharge fully.

And, remember, do not switch on ignition until EVERYTHING is plugged back in, else you'll get an airbag light on dash, which needs Tech1/2 to reset. Isn't that right Mr Omegatoy

I have done in the past, but my latest mug guinie pig customer was Kris of the Irmscher kind, who sat in the car while I crouched next it with the lap top on my knee!!

Sitting in the rear seat is a favourite!
