How to Remove the Dash in an Oldsmobile Aurora

The Oldsmobile Aurora is a four-door luxury sports car manufactured from 1994 to 2003. You may need to access electrical components under the dashboard. Sometimes a dashboard will become cracked or faded due to age and sunlight. The dash on an Oldsmobile Aurora comes apart in several pieces. Some of the pieces snap off with the use of a trim removal tool. The whole job should take you no longer than an hour to complete.
