If you are saying that you need to replace the buttons on the steering wheel on the vehicle that activate the phone, you should know that it might not be the switch. IT could be the wires to the switch panel. At any rate, this is not something that is easy to do because of the air bag. You need to unhook the battery from both terminals and you should then tape the cables together so that they are shorted out. This discharges the capacitor that fires the airbag. Then you need to locate the screws or bolts that come through the back of the steering wheel and hold it together. Take those out and the steering wheel comes apart. Then you need to go to the dealer to get the part.

Can't find fuse for tail lights or multifuction switch on 2004 grand am.

I have a 99 Grand Am and the two fuse boxes I know of in it are located in engine compartment on drivers side and the second fuse panel is in the car as you are sitting behind the wheel, left side of dash is a panel to open. Hope this helps. Usually they have diagrams on the inside cover to tell you what they go to.

I AM LOOKING TO FIND OUT HOW TO REPLACE THE MULTIFUCTION SWITCH IN MY 01 COROLLA

I guess a reasonable approach would be to buy a service manual on ebay for far less money than a tank of gas. That way you would have instructions and pictures for this and all other projects. Another thing to do is do a search for Toyota steering wheel removal on youtube and see if any one has posted a video of someone doing this task. When you pull a steering wheel which has an airbag in it you are in dangerous territory. You may well end up having the thing towed to a toyota dealer and have to pay the additional price for having worked on it first.

It may be a loose wire in the multi function switch connector that is connected to the multi function switch. The Haynes repair manual #30041 will show you step by step how to get to the switch.

Fog lights not working Can I bypass the multifunction switch

yes, no problem. You can bypass the switch and hook them up to your own switch. Otherwise you can connect them via headlight switch, radio wiring or whatever you'd like. Just remember that they may turn on as soon as you start the car if they are hooked up without a switch.
