Instrument Cluster

Disassembly


To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect the negative battery cable, refer to=> [ Battery, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Tools and Equipment, 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.








- Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to => [ Battery, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Tools and Equipment.

- Remove the instrument cluster. Refer to => [ Instrument Cluster ] Instrument Cluster.

- Working around the perimeter of the cluster, disengage each of the integral latch features that secure the top and sides of the cluster lens to the cluster hood and mask unit and to the cluster housing.

- Remove the lens from the face of the cluster hood and mask unit.

Assembly
