read the pages on key , and locks.

are you asking how to REMOVE IT? the Verb missing,???
this is covered in the FSM. buy one, lots of steps it is...
alldata.com covers this.... read it, and defeat the AIR BAGS first. !!!!
here are some free FSM , honda;s are great that way.

on most cars. , "GENERIC RESPONSE"
battery neg lug, removed and safed off (warp in towel> so it cant land on post accidentally) .
I recommend, always to READ THE MANUAL. the FSM.
the factory service manual.. (it's for real mech, not DIY but is best)

RTM, read the FSM on air bag defeats, some can retain a charge for hours. or more... RTM it's your neck not getting snapped.
1; BATTERY PULL NEG LUG.
2: DEFEAT AIR BAGS.
3:remove steering wheel, (rtm) (a whole section just that)
4: do not damage the Air bag coil spring(above) or be real angry when it fails
and not pass smog test , gigs yah.......oops. or cant sell car?/ oops......
5: remove the plastics, there. (wrap) (bottom screws)
6: remove column , switch clamp , most cars show a set of anti-tamper screws here, (RTM) we must destroy them to take them off , and replace them later.
7: cables removed from switch.
8: the whole switch assembly is free, key on. (not locked)
9: out it comes. off end of column.

the key switch is protected with antitamper features.
read about them, then attach the switch.

That is not the key part of the switch, it is the electruical switch the key cylinder operated.
Instructions

• Set the front wheels to point forward and remove the key from the ignition.
  
• 2Disconnect the black battery cable and then the red battery cable, in that order, using a wrench unfasten the two torx bolts securing the lower lid on the steering wheel using a ratchet and torx bit. Pull off the red shorting connector from the underside of the lid and put the lid aside.
  

4Reach through the steering cover opening, unplug the air-bag electrical connector and insert the red shorting connector to the air bag side of the unplugged connector.

5Unfasten the three glove-box mounting screws and put the glove box aside using a Phillips screwdriver.

6Unplug the passenger air-bag electrical connector and insert the red shorting connector located next to the connector into the air-bag side of the unplugged connector.

7Pry off the small cover behind and on each side of the steering wheel using a small flat-head screwdriver.

8Unfasten the torx bolts under the small covers using a ratchet and a T30 torx bit and remove the bag assembly from the steering wheel. Place the bag in a safe place away from your working area with the cover facing up.

9Unplug the horn connector located on the upper side of the steering wheel assembly and the cruise control switch located off center and towards the right of the steering wheel assembly.

10Make alignment marks on the steering column shaft, at the center of the steering wheel, and the steering wheel assembly so that you can reinstall the steering wheel in the same exact position. Use a marker.

11Unfasten the steering-wheel retaining nut on the center of the assembly using a ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. Hold the steering wheel steady with one hand as you remove the retaining nut.

12Rock the steering wheel carefully from side to side as you pull the wheel off the center shaft. If the steering wheel is stuck, install a steering wheel puller on the assembly and detach the wheel from the shaft.

13Remove the upper and lower steering column covers using a Phillips screwdriver.

14Unplug the ignition switch connector.

15Insert the key into the lock cylinder and turn the key to the "On" position.

16Unfasten the two ignition-switch mounting bolts from the steering column using a ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. Then remove the switch from the steering column

Disconnect the negative battery cable so the air bag doesnt deplore their to are two screw on the steering wheel to remove the air bag then uses a steering wheel puller to remove steering wheel if you dont have a puller go a part store to rent one.

your problem is a part called a clock spring located underneath the steering wheel.best to have a shop replace it for you, special wheel puller is required to remove the steering wheel, this part carries wires for all controls and air bag that are control by the steer wheel buttons.

I assume you are counting the air bag light flash, If so light flash 19 is for an drivers side air bag circuit,problem which could be low resistance,circuit open ,short to voltage short to ground. and cannot be cleared or reset until the concern is corrected.ford motor vehicles air bag light will go out when concern is no longer present but will remain in memory, I would start by inspecting wiring under dash going up to steering wheel ,the air bag connector is located just to right of steering column when sitting in the drivers seat after removing the trim panel below the steering column and is a yellow connector, Please use caution when connecting or disconnecting any connectors to air bag system ,battery should be disconnected for min of ten min's prior to attempting any work on air bag curcuits. I have seen many problems in the past with the air bag itself also with the clock spring ,question does the horn,cruise control and steering wheel controls for audio system (IF SO EQuIPPED) work properly? if not there is very possibly a clock spring problem

Check wires connections in ALARM WIRING DIAGRAM

This first post is WITH AN AIR BAG:



With Air Bag Before removing the steering wheel, disable the air bag system
Disarming the System To disarm the air bag system, simply disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. Isolate the battery cable by taping up any exposed metal areas of the cable. This will keep the cable from accidentally contacting the battery and causing deployment of the air bag. Allow the system capacitor to discharge for at least 2 minutes, although 10 minutes is recommended, to allow for the dissipation of any residual energy.

CAUTION Before removing the steering wheel, disable the air bag system (refer to Section 6). Failure to do so could result in accidental air bag deployment and possible injury.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and disable the air bag system.
   
2. Set the front tires in a straight-ahead position.
   

Exploded view of the air bag module mounting

1. Remove the air bag module retaining nuts from behind the steering wheel.
   
2. Remove the air bag module.
   
3. If equipped, remove the cruise control switch.
   
4. Disconnect the horn wiring.
   
5. Remove the steering wheel retaining nut.
   
6. Scribe a line mark on the steering wheel and steering shaft if there is not one already.
   

Use a puller to separate the wheel from the column

1. Remove the steering wheel using a suitable puller.
   

To install:

1. To install, align the scribe marks on the steering shaft with the steering wheel.
   
2. Ensure the wheel compresses the 2 locktabs on the clockspring.
   

air bag has bolts on the back of the steering wheel and to remove the wheel you will need a steering wheel puller but keep all of this because without the factory airbas it will not pass inspection

Hey, here's the procedure, disable air bag, if equipped w/ one, disconnect the pump return hose from the reservoir and place the end in a large container. Plug the port in the reservoir. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel lock to lock several times, until fluid stops running from the hose. Turn off engine immediately. Re-attach hose. Disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses at the pump. Remove the drive belt. Remove the mounting bolts/nuts and remove pump.
Install in reverse order. Adjust belt tension,fill ps reservoir and bleed any air from the system (to bleed air from system, fill reservoir, start engine and allow to idle, turn wheel from side to side all the way several times. Shut off, fill if necessary.
. Tighten bolts to : Thru bolt 30 ft lbs., mounting nut 16 ft lbs.

hi is your srs light on its on the dash as these don,t just pop out for no reason it sounds like you may have bumped your motor and set the air bag off and its not gone off properly as the steering wheel on these cars are fixed with bolts and would take some force to dis lodge them you can unscrew the centre from underneath the steering wheel you don,t have to remove the cowlings to see what has happened but there is only the air bag device there that i can see causing this problem yates210456
