Two torque screws on the back of the steerin g wheel release the airbag (TAKE out the Airbag fuses and disconnect the Negative battery cable first!). Steering wheel must be unbolted and pulled. Key switch taken out. The rest is self-expanatory.
when do you know when you have a bad steering column
gtx castrol 5w 30
On top of lower portion of steering column.
Most likely next to steering column. near dash board
under the dash around the steering column area.
Any steering column from a 1978-83 Chevy Malibu, 1978-87 El Camino, 1978-88 Monte Carlo could work, depending if it's a column or floor shift
Both. The Monte Carlo SS had a floor shifter (what I own), but the regular monte's had column shift
Top of the steering column, it pushes down and pops back up on the 2nd try.
apparently the dimmer switch is bad in the steering column.
You will have to replace the switch that is under the top cover on the steering column, the steering wheel has to come off to get the cover off.
1995 Chevy Monte Carlo has front air bags and has special tools to remove them. It is about a 7 hour job to remove a dash from this vehicle but if you insist on doing this start with dropping the steering column.
Probably the high beam switch in the steering column is bad.
