REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES

Congratulations on the purchase of your new GRANT REVOLUTION steering wheel. This wheel is a
direct replacement for your original factory steering wheel. The original airbag (SIR) module, horn
switch, switch harness, switches and rear shroud from the factory wheel must be removed and
transferred to the new GRANT wheel.

This wheel will fit Mustang vehicles equipped with spoke mounted cruise control switches and silver
spoke trim only.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
These GRANT Instructions use the factory shop manual procedures for the removal and
reinstallation of the steering wheel and airbag module. In addition the GRANT instructions
include step-by- step procedures for the changeover of the switches, wiring and trim pieces from
the factory wheel to the Grant wheel. Before proceeding with the replacement of your original
steering wheel, it is necessary to read and understand all these instructions. By reading them
first, you can become familiar with the steps and terminology used. Please take note of the
following directives used throughout these instructions:

NOTICE - GRANT recommends that installation be performed by a qualified service provider such

as your local Ford dealer, a certified mechanic, collision repair shop or a local airbag service
center. Many of these service centers will come to your home or place of business to change out
the air bag and wheel for a nominal fee. To find these providers check the internet for “airbag
service”, “mobile airbag service” or check the yellow pages.

DISABLING AND REMOVAL OF THE AIRBAG MODULE

1. Position the steering wheel so that it is pointed straight ahead. Write down all of your radio presets
as these may be lost when you disconnect the battery cable in step 2 below.

2. At the Smart Junction Box (SJB) located in the right hand lower kick panel, remove the cover and pull
the Restraints Control Module (RCM); this should be fuse number 17 (10A). Turn the ignition to ON
and monitor the airbag indicator light for at least 30 seconds, the light should remain lit continuously if
the correct fuse has been removed. If it does not remain lit you have pulled the incorrect fuse and

ALWAYS CAUTION NEVER NOTICE NOTE

must find the correct one before proceeding; refer to your vehicle manual for the correct fuse if it is
not number 17. Once you have removed the correct fuse turn the ignition switch to OFF.

NOTICE - Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait at least 1 full minute for the circuit to

completely discharge before proceeding. (If your vehicle has any auxiliary batteries or power
supplies disconnect these as well). CAUTION: Failure to fully deplete the backup power supply
could result in an accidental deployment and possible injury.

3. Refer to Illustration 1 below and remove the plastic bolt caps (1) from the sides of the steering wheel
by prying out with a small screw driver. Remove the airbag module bolts (2) found underneath these
bolt caps with either an 8mm or 10mm socket.

4. Lift and partially remove the airbag module (4) from the steering wheel in order to expose the
electrical connectors (3) on the back side. Take care not to pull on any of the wiring. The
connectors are unique and cannot be reversed when connected so there is no need to mark them.

5. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the airbag module. (Illustration 2)

6. Remove the airbag module from the steering wheel and place the module face up on the floor, seat
or work bench. If you carry the module make sure the trim cover is pointed AWAY from your body.

REMOVING THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE

1. Remove the three (3) silver spoke trim finish panels by placing your finger tips under the trim at the
outside end where it meets the grip of the wheel and gently pull upward. Once it starts to move it is
easy to remove; just pull straight up.

2. Refer to Illustration 3 and disconnect the horn lead by pulling off horn switch at the upper right tab.
Disconnect the wheel switch wiring harness at the clockspring column connector. Do not pull on

the clockspring and do not turn the clockspring now or at any time during installation.
