Remove the airbag and steering wheel, remove the torx screws from the steering housing and remove the housing, remove the screws from the signal and wiper switch, and remove the screws above the ignition switch and remove the switch. Replace the switch and replace everything in reverse.Ê


Where is the fuel cut off switch located on a 1987 ford bronco 2?

The Fuel Cut Off switch is actually called the Fuel Inertia Switch and it is located on the passenger side floorboard near the hump underneath the carpet. Just pull the carpet back from the firewall and you will see it. To reset it pull the white tab up (or push down to shut off. But I don't recommend this because tampering with it too much will cause it to fail, and your truck will no longer start until its replaced.)
