TSB 09-068: Squealing Noise From the Steering Column While Turning the Steering Wheel

Here's the summary of the TSB:

SYMPTOM
The steering column squeals when turning the steering
wheel. The noise may be intermittent and usually
occurs during cold weather driving.

PROBABLE CAUSE
Interference between the switch body and the steering
column.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the switch body.

I haven't noticed this issue on my '06 but I also had the OEM fog lights installed at the dealer when new and that also involves swapping out the original switch for one with the fog light control.

Good luck!
Larry.
