The switches for the turn signal, low and high beam headlights, and windshield wipers, mounted on the steering column, are so-called combined steering column switches and are therefore removed together.
Removal

2. Disconnect the ground (-) wire terminal from the negative battery terminal, after turning off the ignition.
Warning! When you disconnect the battery from the radio, the security code is deleted, as well as all automatic settings on the radio station. If the code is unknown or not written down, then the radio can only be put into operation by resorting to the help of a workshop or the manufacturer of the radio. Therefore, make sure in advance that the code is known.
Caution: Observe safety precautions when working with airbags.
3. Remove the steering wheel.
4. Unscrew the bolts 1 securing the contact coil so that the coil can be removed. The wheels of the car must be aligned and should stand straight (see illustration).
