If it's like my '96 and is on the stalk sticking out from the left side of the steering column, you have to remove the upper and lower covers from around the steering column using a Torx tool from below. (NOTE: a T handle Torx works better than a right angled one) Then, it's pretty straightforward. Two screws come out of the switch assembly, the switch comes out after you unplug the electrical connectors and the new one goes in pretty much the opposite. Take note of how the wiring harness runs and try to get it back in the same place. This will save you headaches trying to get the new switch installed. I found my switch at Auto Zone for about $60.

The dimmer switch is part of the turn signal stalk. To operate it, pull it toward you and release. You'll hear an audible click when it operates. If you pull it only part way, you'llengage the "flash to pass" feature.
