Removal
1. The switch is located on the front side of the cylinder block, above the oil filter support or screwed into the oil filter housing. Please note that on some models, access to the switch can be improved by raising the vehicle and placing secure supports underneath it (see "Lifting and installing the car on supports") and remove the engine protection (if applicable).
2. Disconnect the ground wire from the battery (see "Disconnecting the battery").
3. Remove the protective sleeve from the electrical connector (if applicable), and then disconnect the electrical connector of the switch (figure 14.3).

6. Install the switch together with the washer and tighten it securely. Connect the electrical connector and connect the battery.
