Push the button and pull the steering wheel towards you and the steering wheel will come off. DO NOT try this at high speed.

Button?
I never noticed that before. Mine doesn't look like a button but a plug....and it pulls out and you can see a wire down in the hole going across it and the plug has a notch in it that goes around the wire. If it does turn the wheel button lights on/off how does it work? Anyone know what this piece/assembly is/does???
