Replacing FTO Light Stalk

Postby colinclement » Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:36 am

Hi

my 1997 GX is having a problem with the lights not switching off unless I wiggle the stalk and then sometimes when I'm away from the car the lights switch themselves on and the battery goes flat !

Does anyone know how easy it is to change the stalk\ control unit.


A manual would be useful too.


Cheers

Colin

you dont need to remove the steering wheel to access the stalk on either side of the steering wheel. i had to replace my left stalk and it was plain sailing . removed casings etc. , undo a few screws , connectors etc. cant remember really. but i do remember it is easy then i first thought.
...Me fail english?..Thats unpossible.....
