This is a difficult procedure for the home mechanic. There are many hidden fasteners, difficult angles to work in and many electrical connectors to tag and disconnect/connect. We recommend that this procedure be done at a dealership or qualified shop. During removal of the instrument panel, make careful notes of how each piece comes off, where it fits in relation to other pieces and what holds it in place. If you note how each part is installed before removing it, getting the instrument panel back together again will be much easier. It is not necessary, but it is suggested to remove both front seats to allow additional working space and lessen the chance of damage to the seats during this procedure. Turn the front wheels to the straight-ahead position and lock the steering column. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Remove the right and left side kick panels. Remove the instrument panel end caps. Remove the center console. Remove the A-pillar trim from both sides of the instrument panel. Remove all of the dashboard trim panels. Remove the instrument cluster. Remove the audio unit and the air conditioning control panel. Remove the steering column. Disconnect the harness connector from the Occupant Restraint Controller. Disconnect the instrument panel electrical connectors. A number of electrical connectors must be disconnected in order to remove the instrument panel. Most are designed so that they will only fit on the matching connector, but if there is any doubt, mark the connectors with masking tape and a marking pen before disconnecting them. Remove the bolt securing the fuse/relay box. Disconnect any remaining electrical connectors, then remove the instrument panel retaining fasteners. Remove the instrument panel from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal.
