CHRYSLER AIRBAG STEERING WHEEL 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 with or without spoke mounted control
switches. The original airbag (SIR) module, horn switch, switch harness, switches, trim and shroud from
the factory wheel must be removed and transferred to the new GRANT wheel.

This wheel will fit the following vehicles:
Chrysler 2005-2010 300 Series Dodge 2008-2010 Challenger

2006-2010 Charger
2005-2008 Magnum

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 Mopar 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.

CAUTION

ALWAYS CARRY A LIVE AIR BAG MODULE WITH THE TRIM COVER POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR

DISABLING AND REMOVAL OF THE AIRBAG MODULE

1. Write down all of your radio presets as these will be lost when you disconnect the battery cable. Turn
the ignition key to unlock the column, if your vehicle has a telescopic column extend all the way out
and lock in place.

2. NOTICE - Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable and wait at least 2 full minutes for the
circuit to completely discharge before proceeding. CAUTION: Failure to fully deplete the backup
power supply could result in an accidental deployment and possible injury.

3. From behind the wheel (you will have to turn the wheel to the left and right to access the screws)
remove the two screws (number 5) holding the airbag module to the wheel with a 10mm socket. See
Illustration 1.

Illustration 1 Illustration 2

4. Carefully pull the airbag module rearward away from the steering wheel just far enough to disconnect
the wires from the back of the module; take care not to pull on any of the wiring. Disconnect the 2
airbag squib connectors by squeezing and pulling away (number 2) and the horn connector (number

4) from the airbag module, there is a small plastic ring on the horn wiring that needs to be pulled from
the threaded end on the bottom right hand screw on the back of the airbag module.

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

6. If your vehicle has cruise control, separate the white connector located at the 6 o’clock position inside
the wheel. The release tang for this connector is on the back side facing the dashboard, so you will
need to squeeze it while pulling it off. You might find it easier to slide the entire assembly to the left
to release it from the plastic support; you can then turn it to see the release tang. Once the
connector is separated you can reposition the right segment back onto the support as before.

REMOVING ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE

1. Position the steering wheel so that it is pointed straight ahead. Remove the center wheel retainer
bolt using the 10mm Allen Wrench or Allen socket (this bolt is VERY tight so you may need an
extension to loosen it). Pull the steering wheel up to separate it from the shaft.

2. Taking care to not pull on any of the wiring coming out of the column; simply feed the wires back thru
the hole in the wheel and remove the wheel from the column. Do not turn the plastic clockspring
mechanism with the wiring now or at any time during the installation. See Illustration 2 above.

3. Take the wheel to a work bench as you will need to transfer a number of components from the
original wheel to your new Grant wheel.
