How to Replace the Steering Wheel in a 2005 Acura TL

Model: Acura Acura Various
Part: Steering wheel

In this tutorial, you will see how to replace the steering wheel in a 2005 Acura TL by following some simple steps: first, start the car and turn the steering wheel upside down. Remove the positive terminal from the battery and wait 5 to 15 minutes to allow the airbag system to power down (the airbag system has capacitors and maintains power). Use a T30 Torx key to unscrew the screws located in the holes on either side of the steering wheel. Remove the cover and disconnect the yellow connector (as shown in the video), along with the other connectors; once these cables are disconnected, there are two bolts holding the airbag, which you need to unscrew and remove. Take a 14 mm socket and unscrew the central bolt (make a mark to realign it correctly). Move the steering wheel and remove it from its position, passing the cables through the hole. Fit the new steering wheel by reversing the procedure.
