Will this part fit my vehicle and how do I confirm compatibility?

The Dorman 49277 is produced for specific makes, models and trim levels; fitment must be confirmed before purchase. Use your vehicle’s year, make, model and trim in the seller’s vehicle lookup (garage tool) or compare the connector and mounting points to the original unit to ensure a direct replacement.

• Check vehicle lookup tool with year, make, model, and trim
• Compare electrical connector shape and pin count to original
• Verify mounting bracket and column interface match your steering column

How straightforward is installation and what should be considered?

Installation is typically a direct swap of the original switch assembly, but basic tools and some steering column disassembly are usually required. Follow vehicle-specific service procedures and disconnect the battery before starting to avoid electrical shorts or airbag system issues.

• Expect to remove steering column covers and possibly the steering wheel for access
• Disconnect battery and follow airbag safety precautions when applicable
• Reattach connectors and test all functions prior to reassembly
