Instrument Cluster - Installation

INSTALLATION

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.

CLUSTER ASSEMBLY





1. Make sure the steering column is at its lowest position.
2. Position the instrument cluster close enough to the instrument panel to connect the instrument panel wire harness connector to the receptacle on the back of the cluster assembly.
3. Position the instrument cluster down into instrument panel bottom end first.
4. Tilt the top of the instrument cluster forward until the mounting holes align with the fastener clips in the instrument panel.
5. Install and tighten the fasteners that secure the instrument cluster.
6. Install the instrument cluster bezel, Instrument Cluster Bezel - Installation.
7. Connect the negative battery cable.

NOTE: Certain indicators in this instrument cluster are automatically configured. This feature allows those indicators to be activated or deactivated for compatibility with certain optional equipment. If a problem is noted that involves improper illumination of an indicator, disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. After about five minutes, reconnect the battery negative cable and turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The instrument cluster should automatically relearn the equipment in the vehicle and properly configure the configurable indicators accordingly.

CLUSTER HOOD AND LENS





1. Position the cluster hood and lens assembly over the face of the instrument cluster.
2. Be certain the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) switches are not obstructed.
3. Press firmly and evenly on the hood and lens assembly until each of the side latches are fully engaged around the perimeter of the cluster housing.
4. Install the instrument cluster into the instrument panel 1
