On the left and right sides of the steering wheel are small rectangular or similarly shaped plastic covers. Pry them out ro remove and this reveals the screws (usually torx screws). Remove these and the entire steering wheel air bag will come out as one peice after disconnecting the wire harness. remove the steering wheel center nut then twist the wheel left and right to free it from the shaft (before sliding it off mark its location on the shaft so the wheel ends up straight again!) Pay attention to how the wires are oriented while slowly removing the air bag assembly and re-install exactly without pinching any wires. There are also the plastic top and bottom half covers between the instrument panel and wheel (the steering column) that have to come off. These hides what you are replacing. 1 screw is accessible from underneath the bottom half cover, the other 2 face the driver. remove the 4 screws that hold the airbag/horn wiring and slide it off the shaft. there are 3 more screws that hold the switch assy in place, take them out, unplug the plugs on the assembly and the rest is obvious!

There are 4 bolts at the bottom of the steering column that tend to get loose after entering and exiting your vehicle.

If you do not correct the problem fast by tightening the bolts you will have to replace the entire steering column.. -Henry's locksmith and steering column repair

It's located under the steering column. Remove the trim panel beneath the steering column (3 screws) and gently lower trim piece (it's not necessary to remove). Look for the canister-looking silver flasher to the left of the steering column. It's easy to find. Good luck!
