Hi Everyone. I just bought the Signal/Wiper Switch for my Toyota Tercel 91 and I was hoping I could get some direction on how to change it. Websites? Drawings, anything will help. Does the steering wheel need to be completely taken apart? Please let me know. Thank you.
The turn signal switch requires the steering wheel to be removed, you can borrow a steering wheel puller from most any chain parts store like Kragen or Auto Zone to name a few, always disconnect the battery before starting work, also if you have an airbag on the steering wheel you MUST disarm the system before starting work or serious injury can result if it fires. The screws that retain the airbag or horn pad if present will be on the back side of the steering wheel in wells, about an inch deep, most likely they are #2 Phillips.

ok i am doing the same thing as you. its not hard toota does alot of things right look for screws to remove the horn cap mine is on the bottom. could variey, then pull the cap.two plastic pins aline this hopefully they dont break!??then remove the steering nut. you have to use awheel puller to do this most of the time. sometimes you can put your knews under the wheel and pull on the top of wheel.andmove the nut to the top of the bolt pull hard and give a firm tap.Ok then there is two plugs ,on the back of the black plastic peice in front of you they are held in by a little clip deppress and push back.then remove the three screws in the cluster[two on top one on the bottom. slide this off and flip it over the are three scews to the switch cover. the horn wire will slide off then just replace. hope i helped good luck!
