Instrument Cluster - Assembly






ASSEMBLY

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

NOTE: The instrument cluster mask and lens unit can be serviced separately.





1. Position the cluster lens and mask unit (2) over the face of the instrument cluster. Be certain that the odometer/trip odometer switch push button is inserted through the clearance hole in the mask and lens unit.
2. Working around the perimeter of the instrument cluster (3), apply even pressure to the lens until each of the retaining clips is fully engaged to the housing.
3. Reinstall the instrument cluster Instrument Cluster - Installation.
4. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
