For 1990-2009 cars

### Removal Procedure

1. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .

Disable the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Refer to Disabling the SIR System in Restraints.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
