Once the instrument cluster is pulled free of the dash you will be
able to move it about 8-10 inches before the wires going to the back of
the cluster impede further progress. You must now remove the electrical
connectors from the back of the cluster in order to completely pull it
free. One of the electrical connectors is shown above. There
is a locking tab (black) which must be pried out before the connector can
be pulled off. I used a screw driver for this purpose but I suppose
it could be accomplished with a strong set of fingers.
Although most of the connectors are color coded you must still pay attention what goes where as one of the connectors (the green one) is ambiguous in terms of its placement. I believe this particular connector may have something to do with the cruise control but i am not sure about that. Be very careful not to scratch the clear plastic cluster face while pulling the electrical connectors, as this is when it is most likely to get damaged. Note the soft rag in the picture above. |
