Steering column switch renewal
Needed tae change the indicator/ horn etc switch on mine as it was playing silly buggers! This turned out to be the main switch that everything bolts to, so ye could use this to give ye an idea on how tae change yer other switches.
Heres how Ah did it
The steering column
Ah removed the centre cap from the steering wheel and undid the nut (didnt remove it completely incase the wheel came off and smacked me in the face!) .
then ah removed the dash and held it up out of the way with a bit of wire and removed the steering column covers
Once it was removed ah prised off the wee locking circlip type thingy on the wash/wipe switch, undid the two bolts holding it on and removed the switch ..
Then ah undid the locking nut for the fog lamp switch and removed it .
Moved tae the other side and undid the locking nut on the master light switch and removed it
then ah undid the connector plug for the indicator/ horn switch
Next ah loosened the main clamp screw .
and the two small screws below (dont think is standard)
before removing the switch plate .
Heres some photies of it going back in
Thats it, job done
It might be an idea tae disconnect the battery before ye start and make sure that yer wheels are in the straight ahead position
