The photo above is the view you
see when you open the driver side door. First step is to remove the Headlight Switch Knob. The photo below is a closeup of the back end of the knob with a slender bladed screwdriver in position to release the knob retaining clip. |
| The view above of the Radio Panel
is shown to advise you to loosen this panel in order to gain access to Dash pad retaining screws. You will remove (3) screws under the Cluster bezel and (2) screws under the Radio bezel. |
The Cluster Bezel is removed after
the Headlight Switch knob. Four(4) Phillips on the left end of the bezel and two (2) screws on the right side. |
| The following photos were taken with the Steering Wheel removed
to gain
clarity. You do not remove the Steering Wheel to remove Cluster. |

The photo to the left shows the
Cluster exposed with the dash pad not lifted as yet. Remove or loosen four (4) 7mm screws holding the Cluster. Two alongside the Steering column and two at the upper corners of the Cluster. Tilt the steering column down and unscrew the tilt lever (counterclockwise). |
| The view above shows the area just
above the Cluster where the dash pad retaining screws are located. Remove those screws and wedge the dash pad up slightly. Now you can tilt the cluster forward and to the left. Position the cluster over the Steering Column as shown in the next view. |

Disconnecting the dash harness to
Cluster connectors is accomplished by lifting the metal security clips with a small screwdriver and wedging the connectors off with a flat blade screwdriver. The Cluster is free. |
| The photo on the right shows the
empty Cluster mounting area. If you look closely you can see the 24 pin and the 32 pin connectors that bring all voltages and all data from the many functions that the Cluster monitors. Reverse this procedure to re-insert the exchanged Cluster. |
