Anyone know how to remove the dashboard on the 04-05? It was so easy to do in the 03. I don't even see any screws or anything?? I want to get behind the intrument panel to run some wires. I also want to take out the center console but that one can wait till it het a little warmer. Is there any literature on part removal on the 3G?

Thanks in advance, JP

 

Click here for the thread with pictures of center console and part of the dashboard removal.

Let us know if you need any more pictures.

Also, the link in your signature isn't working. We have had problems with hytek and recommend finding another host. Here are some we recommend.

Sweet thanks for all the info. I usually search b4 posting but I came up empty. I just noticed the link is bad, i'll have to fix that soon. Thats a pic of my old car anyway(which I think is nicer than my 05).

 

thanks for the help and the links. I;ll wait till it warms up before tearing the interior out.

 

One other question, do you know where these instructions came from?I am looking to remove the guage cluster area. I don't see that info in the thread.

 

I drew them by hand. Actually, they come from the Service Manual, available for about $75 including shipping from Helm Inc at www.helminc.com, or look in the back of your owner's manual.

I was going to scan the page for the gage cluster removal, but it is so simple I will just tell you how to do it.

There are 2 screws at the bottom outer edges of the cluster, facing forward, and there are 2 more screws facing upward through two brackets, approximately over the center of each round pod, that screw into the top of the housing.

Then remove the 2 connectors and you have the gage cluster in your hand.
