can someone please tell me how to remove the instrument cluster? thanks!

 

pretty simple actually.... First pull out the rings; this will take some force but with steady pressure, u'll get It out cause it's only held on by clips. Next remove the screws that are holding the cluster in place. Then unclip the wiring harnesses that connect to the cluster. That simple.

Edit, u'll also need to remove the big plastic bill looking like thing that "shades" the cluster in order to get to the screws holding the cluster in place.

 

quite a few steps missing, sorry.. that is the basics of it

but heres some pics to help, and a bit more detail
its my hvac diy...

 

do i have to remove the centre console before I reach to the cluster? thanks guys!

 

WOAH!!
sorry I was way off -- I just realized what u asked
my bad

 

no need to remove the center console...

Btw, I added a step up there.

 

okay let me clarify this for ya. It's very easy.

The rings around the console, those are clipped into there. U need 2 grab it and pull it straight towards you.




Here is the back just 2 show u where those clips are.


Once u remove that, u will see 4 screws holding the gauge cluster on. There are two on top and two underneath (in those channels). There are a total of 4 screws holding the cluster in place.


Hope this helps!

 

anyone know how to remove the little hood over the instrument cluster..


nice info for the removal of the cluster...
someoen needs to come up with custom overlay for the gauge cluster as in colors or added characters..

 

for the hood, once u remove the gauge cluster, there are 5 screws around the edge to remove that. They are obvious screws so u don't have to look around.

 

this is very helpful! thanks!!
