Then, install the wiper/signal/cruise cluster onto the steering column. Position it in place....

...and attach the two wiring harness connectors at the rear before pushing and seating the signal cluster - otherwise, you will not have room to connect the harnesses once the cluster is fully seated on the column. Ensure the wiring harnesses are fully seated against the cluster.

Re-connect the barrell connector.

Lift the pod enough for the wiper/signal/cruise cluster to clear the pod and push in on the signal cluster with a twisting-walking motion to work it down until it is fully seated and oriented so that it is level.

Next, position the pod so that the ignition switch is lined up with the hole in the pod and push the pod onto the ignition switch. Then line up and insert the left (long) 5mm allen head pod-securing bolt and screw down but leave it loose until the right side is attached.

Install and tighten down the right side 5mm allen head pod securing bolt that goes through the ignition switch. Before tightening these bolts, I made sure the pod was not in contact or rubbing against the dash or other obstacles so as to reduce vibration noises. Go back and tighten the right side 5mm allen head bolt after securing the right side.

Next, connect the left instrumentation cluster wiring harness from below. You can also re-connect these harnesses from above before you bolt down the pod.

And connect the right instrument cluster harness from below.

Now, connect the lights/odometer reset/defroster/hazard switches with their respective harness connectors....

....and re-insert them into the pod. Note the orientation. There is a square notch on the front of the switch that is to be oriented to the top. The ***** are keyed to this notch and will ensure the **** is correctly oriented when re-installed. Press the switch in until you hear/feel the plastic tabs click into place.

Next, attach the ***** with their respective switches. Simply line the notches up and press in firmly until you hear the tabs click/lock into place.
