How to Remove the Steering Column Cover From the 1993 Eagle Vision

Youll need to remove the steering column cover, in order to make repairs on your 1993 Eagle Visions ignition switch, steering column or dashboard. This cover surrounds the top and bottom of steering column and includes a hole on the right side for the ignition switch. The cover is made up of two separate pieces that snap together. The bottom piece is secured to the underside of the steering column with three Torx screws.

Instructions

Removal

    1

    Shift the vehicle into park and remove the keys from the ignition. Pry the hazard light switch button from the button assembly on top of the steering column with a flat-head screwdriver.

    2

    Tilt the steering wheel to its highest position. Wrap a shop rag around the tilt lever and grip it with a locking pliers. Lock the pliers on the lever, then unscrew the lever and remove it from the column.

    3

    Remove the screws on the underside of the column shroud with a ratchet and a Torx bit.

    4

    Pull down on the bottom shroud to separate it from the top shroud. Slide the bottom shroud down and off of the ignition switch.

    5

    Screw the tilt lever into the adjuster two to three revolutions, adjust the steering wheel downward, and then remove the top shroud piece.

Installation

    6

    Set the top shroud piece into position, then tilt the steering wheel upward and unscrew the tilt lever.

    7

    Slide the bottom shroud over the ignition switch and into position beneath the top shroud. Press the two shroud pieces together so they snap into place.

    8

    Reinstall the Torx screws on the bottom shroud piece.

    9

    Screw the tilt lever into the tilt mechanism, then wrap it with a shop towel and clamp a locking pliers onto the lever. Screw the tilt lever into place until snug with the locking pliers.

    10

    Tilt the steering wheel downward and set the hazard light button into position. Press down on the hazard light button until it snaps onto the hazard light switch.
