Welcome to the site! Please let us know what year your Monte is, if it has any steering-wheel mounted radio controls and other factors leading up to this annoyance such as: The car was broken into and the people broke the steering column? Something that COULD have happened and possibly be connected to this. Be patient, we have a lot of good, knowledgable members who can help.

i have the steering wheel controlls on mine I can tellyou taking apart the colum or even just taking the cover off is not a fun task but her ya go for destructions on how to do it.

1. get a beer
2.think about getting another beer.
3. open car door and take a drink of beer.
4. open fuse pannel in door jamb on driver side geta beer.
5. Disconntect the BAT. and get a beer. (make sure to take booth post off on this you dont want any current of any kind in the car durrign this.) did i mention get a beer?
6. In the fuse pannel find the fse for the air bags and pull it out.
7. get beer.
8. under the colum i belive it was 4-6 screws there they are revers torx or safty tox cant remeber any more . But get a beer!!
9. once you have doen this you can look on the back of the steering wheel and there are more screws.
10. get a beer.
11. carefully take the fron cover that is more then likly almost off or at least lose now out of your way.
12. get another beer and take a potty break
13. disconnect the wire in the steerign colum.
14. there are four screws that hold the controlls on to the steering wheel.
15. at this point it is just like anythign else. GET MORE BEER!!!!
16. make sure the wires are not touching anythign etc...
17. get a frend to go get you a beer.
18. if nothign is tehre then it moght be under the car by the horn.
19. it is located out side on the front pass fender under the car.
20. get a beer.
21. if it is not at any of them you just need to get a beer.


hope this helps you out some at least if nothign else you will feel good about the fact you have gotten it apart with out hurting your self or the car.

ALSO. seriously make sure the when you hook the fuse back in to the car for the air bags that you touch metal first. YOU WANT NO SHOKING AT ALL.

those air bags are under ALOT OF FORCE. SO GET ANOTHER BEER JUST INCASE IT TRYIES TO GO OFF. IF IT DOSE GET ANOTHER BEER AND LOOK AT SPENDING OVER 500.00 PERSIDE TO FIX THIS NOT TO MENTION THE DASH PARTS THAT BREAK WHEN THEY GO OFF.

READ THIS FIRST.
Sorry Mickey, but safety first.

EVEN THOUGH YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, THERE IS STILL STORED ENERGY. MEANING THIS: THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR YOUR AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY EVEN AFTER YOU HAVE TAKEN THE FUSES OUT AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. THIS IS USUALLY TYPICAL AFTER CAR ACCIDENTS WHEN THE AIRBAG SENSOR HAS BEEN JARRED BUT THE AIRBAG HASN'T DEPLOYED. Okay, no caps now. My suggestion would be to pick a day that you have some time. Do exactly what Mickey said, but after you disconnect the battery and pull fuses, wait 45 minutes to an hour. During that time any stored energy will be disbanded. Good luck.

From me (Taz):

ROTFLMAO! [sm=funnypostabove.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Hey Mickey, why is it you can spell better backwards and after 14 beers?
Also Mickey, I think I know why your horn is always honking. Shorting out on all the beer cans? LOL. [sm=alcoholic.gif][sm=icon_cheers.gif][sm=icon_guiness.gif][sm=partyparty.gif]
