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 cluster lens, hood and mask unit is the only component of the instrument cluster used in this vehicle that is serviced separately. Following is the procedure for assembling this component to the instrument cluster.

2. Press firmly and evenly on the lens, hood, and mask unit until each of the latches is fully engaged around the perimeter of the cluster housing.
