Usage Recommendations
Before removing the original stalk, disconnect the vehicle battery to avoid accidental activation of lighting circuits and airbags. Remove lower steering column covers to access the retaining screws and the factory connector. Match the OE reference numbers and connector type to ensure the plug aligns with the vehicle harness. If any functions do not operate after installation, recheck wiring connections and fuse status, and consult vehicle wiring diagrams where necessary.
Practical Tips
The plastic finish is noted for durability and improved surface treatment compared with many aftermarket units, which may help reduce wear from repeated use. For vehicles with additional steering column controls or factory options, verify that the multifunction switch supports those extra features according to the listed OE numbers. According to the manufacturer, this part is expected to offer a lifetime of reliable mechanical switching, though it may not include some vehicle-specific trim controls or cruise switch functions in certain configurations.
