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.
Tilt the steering column down into the lowest position.
Using a trim stick (special tool #C-4755), gently pry out on the instrument panel cluster bezel and remove.
Remove the instrument cluster screws and disengage the upper latch
CAUTION: 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 (20 lbs.) will be required to disengage the cluster from the connectors. 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
