panel removal
« on: September 07, 2006 - 06:28:53 PM »
i want to check the electrical connections behind the ammeter and i am having trouble getting at it. i have the cover to the gauges loose but cant remove it. does the dash have to come out or lower the steering column? i dont want to take apart more than i have to.  its a non rally dash if that makes any differance.


thanks Gord

lower the steering column  I assume you have the light panel out as well

3 nuts on two studs , 7/16  , & it will drop down , the studs are just under the dash

Take out your headlight/wiper/dimmer switch panel first.
