How To: Take off dash and gauge cluster

Post by MMamdouh »

you will need a flat end screw driver and cross end screw driver

1- pop the electric mirror control panel with a flat end screw driver then detach its socket (if you don't have that accessory then you will have a cup shaped plastic trim... put your for fingers in it and pop it out of place

Image

2- remove both screws behind the mirror control panel/plastic trim

Image

3- turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the right and remove the screw behind the wheel shown in the pic

Image

4- turn the wheel 180 degree to the left and remove the other screw shown in pic

Image

5- remove the upper part of the steering column trim by pulling it upwards

Image

6- remove the two screws in the top of the gauge area

Image

7- open the cup holder and pop the bottom of the H shaped trim around the cassette by fingers

Image

8- remove the upper part of the H trim by hand

Image

9- remove the screws of both the cassette and the plastic trim underneath it

Image

10- drag the cassette to the outside

Image

11- remove both lower screws of the A/C control panel

Image

12- pull the bottom of the A/C panel to the outside then move it downwards

Image

13- remove both screws at the bottom of the dash

Image

14- pull the whole dash to the outside, note that you will have to detach the sockets of the hazard light and the clock/rear fog light (if equipped)

Image

15- clear the steering wheel and remove the dash face out of the way

Image

16- remove all 4 screws holding the gauge cluster

Image

17- tilt the cluster face down and remove the 3 sockets in its back

Image

18- clear the steering wheel and remove the whole cluster
