WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Jeep Wrangler and 2015 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative cable from the battery.
- Remove the center bezel (1) from the instrument panel. Refer to BEZEL, INSTRUMENT PANEL, CENTER, REMOVAL .
- Remove the two screws (2) that secure the Hands Free Module (HFM) (1) to the instrument panel support structure.
- Pull the HFM away from the instrument panel far enough to access and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connectors from the HFM connector receptacles.
- Remove the HFM (1) from the vehicle.
