The rubber membrane over the radio buttons has to be pulled out to reach the shaft of the steering column. Remove the screws holding the turn signal mechanism and the handle attached to it. Gently pull the mechanism out and away from the shaft. The center of the wheel is attached to the shaft by a nut on a splined shaft. After removing the nut the wheel can be wiggled and pulled off; UNLESS it is a tilt-steering mechanism. They have an extra screw on the right side of the column that requires a special tool to remove. Most part stores will have it.
No
The steering wheel controls are probably bad The only fuse is the radio fuse and if the radio works the fuse is OK Also if you do not have the original stereo, and your new stereo does not have a place to plug in those controls they will not work.
i had a sony installed in my 1994 cutlass supream SL convertable, they told me the radio controls willnot work= come to find out neather does the airconditioning (go figure) they told me the ariconditioning runs through the radio, = Does it? wellthey told me it was a $75 + labor to install it AFTER they put the dash back together.... any one know if they are right? if the airconditioning controls do work through the factory radio?
Go to Crutchfield.com and use the outfit my vehicle feature, if there is an interface available to adapt the steering wheel controls it would be there, also if you buy the head unit there the wiring harness adapter and dash kit are free so no cutting into the factory wiring. If it is too confusing use the phone number for a consultant and they will find what you need.
I recently replaced the factory radio in my 1999 EB Explorer and, while the new radio had a CD player in it, I lost the use of the 6 CD changer in the armrest. Also, if you have steering wheel controls or rear seat controls, you may need to also install an add on, assuming the radio has an infrared remote control, to enable these controls. I also did this and it works reasonably well.I used Crutchfield and they are very helpful in answering questions you may have - you should try that also.bntdcarr@comcast.net
No
It doesn't control anything. It is the connection for the cruise switches, horn switch, radio controls(if equipped) and airbag that allow the steering wheel to turn and there to still be a connection.
There are a series of wires that run from the steering wheel controls to the radio. An electronic circuit could be used, to combine several controls into fewer wires.
pull out controlers gently with flat blade screwdriver detach wire in back
The cruise and radio switches do not share a common fuse.
remove radio from a grand marquis 2003
Remove the plastic piece under the steering wheel... it is hidden in there. The one behind the radio is for hazards
My 1989 has them. I love this feature.
Well, since I've waited so long for an answer I figured it out myself. You pry open the radio controllers and pull out the assembly then cut the wires. Problem solved.
For instructions on this task check out the following website. http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/mods.asp?modid=112 Hope this helps. "G"
pull trim around radio, speedometer. pull gauges radio and ac controls there is two screws .pull them. then pull electric wires to get releases cable out the key has to be in on position
If the steering wheel has radio controls on the wheel, there could be a problem in the wiring. When the wires connect electrically it will cause stations to change.
