Open steering column clamshell to replace miltifunction switch

[Siepierski]

Any idea how to open the plastic clamshell on the steering column so the multifunction switch can be removed and replaced?

2019 ram bighorn (new body style)

The seam goes all the way around the steering column. No other seams.

There are no fastener holes anywhere.

I don't see any way of removing the naugahyde boot without damaging it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

What sections of the manual that I have is missing the directions for that. But it appears the multifunction switch is part of a larger module that includes the clockspring for the airbags. Meaning: steering wheel comes off. I think purchasing a couple days' subscription to alldata would be worth it for you.

I attached some service info. Good luck

AlldataDiy has the step by step procedure. Too lengthy to post here.
