head light switch, tail lights won't turn off
 

I have a 1993 Honda Civic DX two door. I need to replace the light
switch located in the steering wheel column. I am doing this because
the tail light won't turn off and I checked all the fuses and am left
with this as the problem. This car has an airbag. I would like to
know if I have to remove the steering wheel and if so do I need any
special tools? Is this a difficult task and is my assessment correct?
Is their a website with any information on how to do this?

Re: head light switch, tail lights won't turn off
 

Some recommendations on disabling the air bag include disconnecting the
battery and removing SRS fuses and letting it sit for 10-15 minutes before
proceeding. I don't know if it is actually necessary but when you are going
to be working next to an explosive device a little extra precaution doesn't
hurt.
