We began reinstall by setting the Pot to lowest reading using the connected motor W/O cable to determine that lowest reading of .69 ohms. NOTE, (

due to air bag out, battery reconnected for 12V.) Since column fully retracted, we was able to turn the white capped thread screw (located directly below Speedo) 1 turn C.C.W. to move off Mechanical Stop. Photo included Reinstalled assembly by moving cable & motor as described earlier along column and bumping motor to align splines. Once they aligned and motor snapped into place, connected the harness and used the 2 wires ties to secure the wiring.

With the Control switch still in manual mode we bumped it each way to verify correct install. With this complete, Reattach the column to the bulkhead with 2 Allen bolts and 13mm nuts. Install the switches prior to mounting the covers with screws to the column. Reattach the Cowl Covers, BOTH Top then the Bottom; . Next is the Lower Bolster, then ready for the Steering Wheel. REMEMBER (DISCONNECT THE BATTERY) since it was reattached for tests. Do another Hard Reset to discharge the existing caps and then go to next step. ALMOST COMPLETE. Reattach the steering Wheel and align to previous marks. Place a drop of Loctite on bolt threads and place the washer onto bolt, then tighten the bolt to (SECURE)*
Next is Air Bag. Plug yellow plug into harness, then the black one. Since the 2 T30 screws are captive and the air bag is threaded, align onto the steering Wheel to begin final assembly. The 2 Torx screws will align but you now need to reattach the battery to start the car and move the wheel to either the 9:00 or 3:00 position for access to the 2 screws. Tighter them SNUG, but do over tighten (6 to 9 inch lbs) OK.

Finally you are finished and a successful job is complete. Have COLD ONE!

*SECURE 25 Ft. Lbs or 30NM
RESET-- Clock, Accelerator,Radio, & Windows & Steering Limits
*THANKS to Ken Chalfant for his earlier thread regarding R&R.

 

Well done....

 

Error noted in previews post. NO access to air bag screws at 9 and 3 O'clock. They have to be located at 12 and 6 O'clock to tightened.

 

RESOLVED We have completed the repair and all is functioning as it should.

 

Thank you Kelly, I think I could do this with your great instructions. Not that I would want too.
