How to remove dashboard to replace a bulbbehind the speedome

[Mark Ward]

It really does not take long at all to remove the dash.

3 screws across the top of the dash, behind cover plates. (philips)
1 each side of the dash at the bottom (10mm)
1 screw on side of dash (each side behind plastic cover)
remove shifter cover (plastic, pops off)
remove lower plastic trim below stereo (4 screws)
undo 10mm bolt on each side of stereo console
undo antenna plug from passenger side in behind dash
undo 2 plugs (or 3?) on passenger side
undo 3 or four plugs (3 on one "bank" alone)
undo couple of plugs on the driver side of the stereo
undo 2 bolts holding steering column up(use a light to find them, 12mm)

I think this is it, lift and pull backwords a bit and then go sideways out
the passenger door. Do this slowly incase you missed a plug. 2 people is
best to lift it out so you dont scratch the steering column plastic. I do it
on my own in the rally car and I have to go around the roll cage.

OR you can actually get at most bulbs from under the dash in place... It is
not that much easier out of the car...

FYI, the car will run just fine with the dash out, the only thing is the
wiring for the turn signal relay seems be in the dash board wiring.

I need to remove the dashboard cover to replace a burned out bulb
behind the speedometer. Before taking a chance, does some have an
instruction of dash removal?

It is the speedo.

The biggest trouble I had with my dash was
reinstalling it. There was a metal circular plug that
goes right behind the odometer. The problem that I was
having is there isn’t much slack on it and I had to
squeeze my hand in and kind of push it in. it took a
couple of times to get it working right. I think its
something to do with the Speedo. The first time I
thought I was done but when I left it said I was going
0mph. There’s probably a way to unplug it from the
tranny first or something.
