Toyota Repair: 1998 Toyota Sienne horn, torx bolts, spiral cable


Question
I seem to have a bad contact in the steering wheel horn pad. How do I go about removing the horn pad. I don't see any kind of screws holding the pads.
Thanks for your help

Answer
You will need to remove the steering wheel airbag, disconnect the battery and wait 90 seconds, remove the two plastic covers on ead side of the steering wheel, the airbag is held in with two small torx bolts, loosen the bolts and pull the airbag off, carefully disconnect the wiring and put the airbag in a safe place, after that the 19mm steering wheel nut can be removed if needed, a word of caution before starting this make sure the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and do not turn the steering wheel or move the spiral cable assembly under the steering wheel or it will break.
