Adding OBC stalk without removing steering wheel?

[jpc763]

I was looking at the book 101 Projects and the first step for either the cluster upgrade or the OBC enable is to disconnect the battery.

I am not removing the airbag and I am not upgrading the cluster. I am adding a stalk and running the cable to the back of the cluster.

Do I really need to disconnect the battery?

Thanks, John

Yes. I've done this, and it's no big deal. But absolutely, disconnect the battery.
