That basically covers it, but the big issue is getting the switch out and
the new one in. I think in the '89 the steering wheel has to be removed -
not a big deal, but see the next paragraph. It appears the switch actually
fits over the steering column.

Dealing with the steering wheel is simple assuming you have no air bag, but
requires special care if you do. If you have an air bag there is a wound-up
(not spring-loaded) cable that must be treated carefully in addition to the
other issues, and the power must be disconnected. A manual is very useful in
either case and necessary if you have an air bag. Haynes is adequate for
this job.
