Jeeps come in a variety of models, makes, and sizes. Two of the more popular types of Jeep vehicles are the Grand Cherokee, which is a mid-sized SUV, and the Wrangler. During the course of owning a Jeep you may find that you need to make certain repairs that require you to remove the dashboard. You may need to replace wiring or reach parts of the engine that almost impossible to reach from the outside. Removing the dash of a Jeep takes a few hours and the repair should be done in a garage or driveway.
Open the hood of your Jeep. Take the negative battery cable wire and detach it from the battery.
Use a Philips head screwdriver to take out the screws that secure the center console panel in place. You should be able to see at least three of the screws. Two additional screws may be located inside the Jeep cup holder. Take off the center console.
Use the trim tool to take off the pillar and dash trim pieces of the Jeep. Take a flathead screwdriver and use it to lift up the vents from the Jeep dashboard panel. Take a socket wrench and take out the bolts on top of the dashboard.
Gently pull off the weather stripping. Use the trim tool once again to remove the panels beneath the dashboard that are close to the doors of the Jeep. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws behind the panels. Take off the panels.
Remove the trim from around the glove box with the trim tool. Use the socket wrench to loosen and remove the bolts from the glove box.
Remove the bolts from the dash board with the wrench. Pull the Jeep dashboard back slightly and disconnect all of the electrical connectors. Carefully pull up on the dashboard and then pull it up to remove it from the Jeep.
