They must be replaced with new fasteners of the same part number if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during assembly to ensure proper functioning of these parts. The steering column is of a modular construction and features easy to service electrical switches. The structural part of the steering column is made of magnesium die castings. At the lower end, the steering column is attached to the instrument panel support by a bend bracket. The bend bracket is designed so that during a collision: a. The steering column will remain stationary during air bag deployment. b. If, after air bag deflation, the driver should strike the steering column, the bend bracket will bend in a controlled manner absorbing the impact of the driver striking the column and reducing injury. The upper end of the steering column is attached to the instrument panel support by shear modules. They are designed to shear if, during a collision, the driver should strike the steering column after air bag deployment and deflation. This allows the bend bracket to absorb the force of the impact as described above. Tilt Steering Column, Ranger

On the tilt column, a latch mechanism is included to allow unlatching, raising, and lowering the upper third of the steering column with the steering wheel. The tilt column has pivot screws and a universal joint in the steering shaft to allow tilting. On a fixed column, the steering shaft is rigid. A unique steering column-mounted shift mechanism is used. It has the transmission shift selector position insert (7A216) plate located away from the gearshift lever (7210) and interacts with the gearshift lever through a linkage system. This system incorporates a brake shift interlock which prevents shifting out of Park unless the brake pedal (2455) is depressed.

TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, THE BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE MINUTE BEFORE BEGINNING WORK TO DE-ENERGIZE THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY. 1. Make sure the vehicle's front wheels (1007) are facing straight ahead, and the steering wheel (3600) is oriented in the straight-ahead position. If the steering wheel is turned, the new air bag sliding contact (14A664) to be installed (which is locked in its shipping orientation) will not line up with the steering column casting and shaft. 2. Disconnect the battery to starter relay cable (14300). Wait at least one minute before proceeding, to allow the air bag backup power supply to discharge. 3. Remove steering wheel as described in this section. 4. Remove upper and lower steering column shrouds (3530) as described in this section. (Unscrew tilt lock lever to remove lower steering column shroud, if so equipped.) 5. Remove ignition switch lock cylinder as described in this section. Remove key warning chime contact from lock cylinder casting by pulling out. 6. Remove ground wire eyelet bolt (N805375) from steering column bend bracket hole. 7. Remove the two air bag sliding contact down lead wire harness hanger clips from the steering column casting. 8. Disconnect the two air bag sliding contact lower wire harness electrical connectors from the instrument panel wiring harness at the steering column bend bracket, and remove connectors from bend bracket (remove ground wire eyelet bolt N805375). 9. Remove the air bag sliding contact from the steering column by prying the three snaps back from the small ramps on the steering column lock cylinder housing as the air bag sliding contact is pulled away from the housing. The snaps are located at the 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 6 o'clock positions on the back of the air bag sliding contact.
file://c:\tso\tsocache\vdtom_5368\svk~us~en~file=svkb4a18.htm~gen~ref.htm Page 2 of 4 Installation 1. Make sure the vehicle's front wheels are straight ahead and the steering column shaft alignment mark (punch mark on end of shaft) is at the 12 o'clock position. 2. If a new air bag sliding contact is being installed, orient the air bag sliding contact prior to installation by depressing the yellow hub lock with your finger and rotating the white hub approximately 1/4 turn clockwise until the arrow lines up with the shaft lock (yellow loop). Release hub lock. 3. If a new air bag sliding contact is being installed, position the new air bag sliding contact with the shaft lock (yellow loop) at the top, and slide the new air bag sliding contact onto the steering column shaft. (If the old air bag sliding contact is being reinstalled, position the black housing so that the three pins on the back side lineup with the three holes in the steering column lock cylinder housing at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 6 o'clock.) Push the air bag sliding contact firmly until the three guide pins on the back of the air bag sliding contact engage the holes in the steering column lock cylinder housing, and the three snaps on the back of the air bag sliding contact engage the three ramps on the steering column lock cylinder housing. 4. Push the two wire hanger clips into the steering column casting. 5. Install the down lead harness wire connectors in the original locations on the steering column lower bend bracket and connect to the instrument panel wiring harness. 6. Route the ground wire from the air bag sliding contact lower 6-pin wiring connector to the steering column bend bracket hole, and secure the eyelet to the bend bracket with bolt (N805375).

Install the key warning chime wire (first remove black protective cover from the connector) into the key lock cylinder by pushing firmly until it snaps into place. 8. Reinstall the upper and lower steering column shrouds. Reinstall tilt lever. 9. Reinstall the steering wheel as outlined in this section. Connect steering wheel wiring connector to air bag sliding contact. 10. Unlock the air bag sliding contact by pulling up on the yellow loop at the top of the air bag sliding contact to remove. 11. Connect driver air bag to air bag sliding contact connector. Place driver side air bag module (043B13) into steering wheel and install air bag retaining bolts. Hold driver side air bag module in position in steering wheel while bolts are being tightened to ensure proper fit. 12. Reinstall two steering wheel cover plugs by snapping into holes on sides of steering wheel. 13. NOTE: When the battery (10655) has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven to relearn the strategy. Connect battery to starter relay cable. Refer to Section 01-20B. 14. Verify air bag warning indicator operation.
