- Install the column housing cover end base plate (2) to the lock housing cover assembly (1).
- Install the lock housing cover assembly (1) onto the steering column.
- Align the dimmer switch rod to the dimmer switch rod actuator (3).
- Install 3 pan head 6-lobe socket tapping screws. Tighten the screws (1) at 12 o'clock position first, screw (3) at 8 o'clock position second, and screw (2) at 3 o'clock position third.
- Mount the cruise control connector (3) onto the base plate (1).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
