Bare the negative terminal of the battery, and then demold the front trim plate and shift knob, shift trim plate, rear console pad assembly, and front pad assembly. Remove the Electrical connectors going to the ECM and take out the ECM. Then, it is necessary to take out the front carrier-to-instrument panel reinforcement frame and the carrier reinforcement, the carpet clips and rivets at the console assembly. Pulling the heater control assembly, then the radio and at last, the carrier. Next, you will need to remove the shift cable from the shifter control assembly and if there are any plugs or clips ensure you do it carefully. Pull the cable through the body and out into the passenger area through the use of the yoke clip then at the transaxle and shifter base sever the connection between the shift cable end and the shift lever and the yoke clip on the mounting bracket. For installation route the cable from the passenger side to the front of the car and attach it to the transaxle mounting with the boot and attach the other end to shift lever. Trim the excess of the cable near the fuel line and fasten the free end to the yoke bracket located on the rear part of the shifter assembly, engage the end of the cable into the shift lever pin. The console carrier assembly, radio, heater control assembly, carpet clips and rivets, carrier reinforcements, ECM, plug in the ECM electrical connectors are then installed. Last, set the front pad assembly, front pad trim plate, rear console pad assembly, shift trim plates and shift knob, and link the cable to the battery's negative terminal. To provide access to the park/lock control cable you would then need to remove the console covers, hush panel and lower steering column as necessary, then simply disconnect the end of the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, set the shift knob to the Park position and with the ignition key turn it to the Run position. Remove the cable from the inhibitor by using you screw driver and pushing it to the inhibitor slot and then you pull the cable from the park lock lever pin and shifter base. To install, put the shift lever in the park position, push on the cable connector lock button so that it flips up and plugged the cable into the base. Switch off the key and align the end of the cable into the slot provided on the inhibitor and the park lock lever pin and ensure that the cable had no loose ends of the cable connectors. When there is no load applied, put down the cable connector lock button and make the shift lever to the Park position, then turn the ignition key into the Lock position to have the shift lever locked and the key can be taken out. Insert the key to 'run' position and ensure the key cannot be pulled out in neutral, if corrections are made ensure all works correctly.
