Removing ralley cluster
« on: February 27, 2006 - 10:53:43 AM »
Before I get into it I figured I'd better ask...what is the best way to remove instrument cluster?  Do you have to remove dash pad first?  Do you remove switch panel on left first or gauge panel?  I assume it would be best to lower steering column first right?

Lowering the column will help some. Disconnect the battery first(long story  :-[) . The light bar will have to be removed second. Then the switch panel. It is all kind of a pain since you need to disconnect things as you go to get everything out. It wasn't a day at the beach the first time I did it, but I can do it easy now... not that I want to.  :lol:

Lower the column and cover it with a towel, that way you wont scratch it up with the cluster sitting on it as you disconnect the wires from the back.
