Best Answer

The dimmer switch is part of the multifunction switch on the left side of the steering wheel and is fairly easy to remove. Underneath the steering wheel trim are holes for the attachment screws. Remove the screws and carefully separate the two halves and set them aside. You will now be able to see the attachement screws for the switch assembly. Disconnect the wiring first, then the screws. Some of these switches are held in place with a fastener using a Torx head, and requires a special bit to remove. Install the replacement switch, reconnect the wiring and reassemble the trim. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO FOOL WITH THE AIRBAG CONNECTOR. IT MAY GO OFF IF UNPLUGGED ACCIDENTALLY WITH GREAT FORCE. To avoid this, disconnect the negative battery cable first and wait 15 minutes before touching the steering wheel. This allows the internal capacitors time to bleed down.
