AnswerCLUSTER AND BEZEL
REMOVAL
To service any instrument cluster component, the instrument cluster must be removed from the instrument panel. Use the following procedure:
Open hood and disconnect the negative battery cable remote terminal from the remote battery post Negative Battery Cable Remote Terminal
Remove the instrument panel left end cap.
Remove steering column shroud cover.
Tilt the steering column down into the lowest position.
Remove one screw (LHS / 300M) to cluster bezel
Remove the items to expose bezel mounting screws. Items vary depending on model.
Remove two screws over upper cluster bezel in instrument panel brow area and all remaining attaching screws (four on Intrepid, LHS, and 300M, and five on Concorde)
Using a trim stick (special tool #C-4755), gently pry out on the instrument panel cluster bezel, disconnect headlamp switch connector, and remove.
Remove the instrument cluster screws
NOTE: Tilt steering wheel down to gain access for instrument cluster removal.
Remove the instrument cluster from panel. The instrument panel wiring harness connectors are self-aligning, mounted directly to the rear panel. A force of approximately 9 kilograms (30 lbs.) will be required to disengage the cluster from the connectors and upper clips. In the lower corners of the cluster housing, tabs have been provided so that a "hook" type device can be used to aid in removal.
INSTALLATION
For installation, reverse the above procedures.
