Disconnect and isolate negative battery cable.
On tilt columns, remove tilt lever.
remove upper and lower steering column covers.
Remove Torx screws.
Pull switch away from column, and loosen connector screw (screw remains in connector).
Remove switch.

You shouldn’t be touching or coming in contact with the air bag and or the system at all
and NO need to remove steering wheel and or the driver side air bag
