Dashboard / Instrument Panel: Service and Repair

REMOVAL
1. To remove the dashboard, first remove the:
- Steering wheel and column lower cover.
- Instrument panel.
- Right and left air vents.
- Center bolt cover.
- Ashtray

2. Disconnect the ground and antenna cables from under the dashboard.
3. Disconnect the instrument wire harness from the fuse box.
4. Remove the 7 dashboard mounting bolts.

Dashboard Removal:

5. Lift the dashboard as you pull so it will slide up and off the guide pin at the middle; hold it from underneath so it won't fall when it comes off the pin.
6. Install the dashboard in the reverse order of removal. Tighten the bolts gradually, in an alternating pattern, checking for dashboard fit and wire clearance.

CAUTION:
- Make sure the dashboard fits onto the guide pin correctly.
- Before tightening the dashboard bolts, make sure the instrument wire harness is not pinched.
