Instrument Cluster - Disassembly

DISASSEMBLY

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. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the instrument cluster (1) from the instrument panel Instrument Cluster - Removal.
3. Working around the perimeter of the instrument cluster (3), release the clips that secure the instrument cluster mask and lens unit (2) to the housing and remove the lens.
