They might have forgoten to plug the dimmer switch back in. The dimmer is attached to the column. Find someone to look under the dash, or take it back to whoever replaced the column. It would be their responsibility to make sure everything is right.

Do you need to take the steering column apart when replacing the switch on a 1997 Ford Taurus if the turn signals and hazard lights have shorted?

You do have to take the steering column apart including the air bags. Due to the possiblilty of deploying the air bags and the complicated steering column, I suggest you take it to a garage.

2002 Toyota Tacoma ignition switch sticks.What is causing this. Sometimes it'll turn to start position or it won't. WD 40 does not remedy this.?

Have you tried wiggling the steering column while turning the key? If that helps, you probably need to remove a portion of the plastic cover from your steering column to enable you to lube the column lock. That's the thing that keeps the steering from turning if the key is not turned on. If the column lock jams, it can prevent the key from turning.


How do you remove the airbag on a 1995 Ford Escort wagon 1.9 in order to replace the gas gauge light?

You shouldn't have to remove the airbag in order to replace the gas gauge light. The steering column is held up by a couple of retaining bolts. Remove these bolts and the steering column will lower enough that instrument panel will come out easier. The steering column won't drop to the floor when you do this but will hang in midair. If you have a tilt wheel, you might have to adjust the wheel tilt to allow the panel to come out easier. Don't forget to remove the steering column cover though.
