Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to be working on a 2001 Ford Ranger. We're going to show you how to remove and reinstall the clam shell around the steering column for when you have to access the shifter components, the dimmer switch, the hazard switch, or anything else inside the steering column that you may need to get at.

You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver for this repair.

Now you'll have to remove these three Phillips head screws on the column. Tilt the column down, and work off the top half of the clam shell. Place the top half out of the way. Unscrew the tilt column level, and remove the lower half of the clam shell.

Reinstall the upper portion of the clam shell, and the lower. These do have little plastic hooks on them. Snap them together. Reinstall your Phillips-head screws. You should have three. Again, our truck is missing one. Screw the tilt column lever back into place.

Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.
