    • Make sure the horn and turn signal switches works properly.
    • Make sure the steering wheel switches works properly.
    • Make sure the horn works properly.
  12. After installation, check the steering wheel spoke angle. If the steering spoke angles to the right and left are not equal (steering wheel is not centered), correct the engagement of the wheel/column shaft splines.
