Thank you! Straight forward, to the point and good detail on what to do. Any problems so far with the Amazon sourced buttons you used? Just curious how these have worked out versus the original OEM part. Not for cosmetic finish per say of old versus new, but basic quality, button feel, etc. I'm looking at the same repair in my '03 Tahoe and debating the replacement part to use.

Just replaced my steering wheel buttons after watching your video. I would never have attempted this project without seeing it done first. Thanks for posting it!

Just did this. Lowers were a PITA. The left one I ended up snipping off the two protruding tabs on the edges of the socket on the new button. I used an angled pick slipped through the back of the hole where the wire goes through to the center of the steering wheel. I used the pick to hold the plug tight and just got lucky that it slipped in properly to the socket.

Top buttons took 5 minutes. Bottom ones took 40.

I’m learning English just for videos like that, in Mexico we don’t have easy, quick, and short videos like the gringos, thanks

Dude, this is by far the best and more clear video I have seen for this job. Very good. Nice job. Thank you very much.

Wonderful and easy job. Thank you very much. I got advantage of it. It’s pleasure to be subscribe and give it like for your video.

Thanks for the video! I am curious though as to why you took the airbag off? Was it just for visibility? Thanks!

[drspankymfc]

Upper easy to replace as there is just enough slack in wire if your carefull. Lower buttons you need to remove the wheel. Which is easy to do video on here showing it.

Thank you for the clear replacement video. Just a curiosity question: When disconnecting a battery from the electrical system, you should disconnect positive terminal. Would this not eliminate the possibility of any module residual power when working on any electrical device. Thanks again, for the clear and to the point replacement video.. Peace, T

You do need to remove the air bag...I used some 10lb test fishing line, , , ran it in the back of the wire clip...left lots of slack in the line...place the knob in the hole and push real easy...while pulling both end of the fishing ling..It will pull the connection clip into place...just listen for the snap....

These steering wheels fit on a 01 gmc Sierra?

[Cadillacmike]

After removing horn/airbag assembly, and reconnecting horn now does not work. Any advice?

[JustinBender]

Does the switch have the lights inside or is that a separate thing

[hud]

You can also take the switch apart and then rebuild it in the steering wheel socket.

[oakleypurvis]

Do you have to disconnect the battery??

[breadwinnerkane]

All of my buttons on the top of the steering wheel don't don't. Don't that mean the buttons or bad or the wire controlling it?

[kolbybatten]

if my top buttons don’t work do you think it’s a wire problem or just the buttons being old on a 05 tahoe

[espeterson]

Is it actually necessary to do all this? Or can you just pull the switches out and plug them back in as is without taking the airbag off?

[kordless]

Where did you get the hooker tool, I have a bunch of tools but I don't have one that looks like that?

Just to let you guys know the bottom buttons literally blow to take out and put in
