Toyota Repair: 89 Corrola Dash Light, phillips screws, dash light


Question
The dash light in the middle (that lights up the lower end of the speedometer) is out. Other dash lights are on so I know the fuse is good. Is it just a matter of reaching up behind the dash and finding the bulb cap to replace the bulb, or do i have to dismantle the dash and pull the guage cluster? Personally I can drive just fine without the light, but my son who is just learning has a need to see the 20 to 45 MPH area of the speedometer at night.

Thanks

Answer
The bulbs can be replaced by removing the instrument cluster, the dash doesn't need to be disassembled, remove the plastic trim piece surrounding the cluster, there should be two phillips screws at the top of the trim, after that there are four screws that hold the assembly in, pull it foreward to disconnect the speedo cable and the electrical connectors.
