Hi,
I did do a search but I couldn't ascertain if the below instructions would applyp to my 1994 900S ? Could someone verify or tell me where I can find the appropriate details ? Thanks !
================
Steering Wheel Removal and Installation
Tools
22mm Socket
½ in Ratchet and extension
4-5mm Allen key
Removal
1) Disconnect the battery
2) Make sure wheels are straight and steering wheel is dead center
3) Release the steering wheel adjustment from the bottom and pull the steering wheel to its outer position. (this is only needed for later to remove the steering column covers around steering wheel for dash fascia removal)
4) Remove the Allen key screw covers off on either side of the steering wheel and unscrew the bolts until you can tell that the center airbag has released
5) You can pull it forward a little to see how it is connected by three wiring harnesses
a) There are three harnesses, 1 white (airbag wiring attaches to center module), 1 black(also attaches to center module), and 1 gray(attached to steering wheel)
6) Unplug all three harnesses and remove center module.
7) Loosen and remove center bolt with 22mm socket
8) Remove steering wheel while carefully feeding the 2 harnesses through the hole above the center of the steering wheel.
Installation
1) Feed harnesses through the hole prior to slipping wheel onto center bolt. Once they are through slip steering wheel onto bolt making sure it is properly oriented.
2) There is a notch on the top of the center spline to line the steering wheel up to the column. Slip wheel on until it locks into the notch.
3) Install center bolt
4) Plug the 3 harnesses back into their respective holes
5) Line up airbag unit to the guide pins on the top part of the module to the steering wheel
6) Press in slightly to line up side screws, tighten side screws
7) Reinstall screw cover caps
