It's tricky but not hard. You first take the screws off up top; they are inside the black shroud around the cluster. You will need a very short philips screwdriver. Small hands help. Next, there are two 'umbilical' cables that need to be disconnected from underneath the actual cluster unit. They are accessed by removing the plastic tray by holder & kick panel under the steering wheel. Again it's a weird angle but they pull straight down. Finally, the 'weird part': The cluster itself will lift up, out of two pronged slots, but then it can be frustrating to actually bring it out. Try turning the steering wheel to one side, and also 'tipping' the cluster back down in the dash recess and play with different angles. You'll still be a bit tight, but once you get the right angle it will simply come right through the steering wheel.

Were can you get an electrical diagram for a 1986 Volkswagen Cabriolet or Rabbit?

buy a chilton's manual, and it will be in there. your local vw dealership service dept should be able to print one out for you... I have, and am currently researching this issue. The Chilton's manual (I have a copy) does not reflect correctly the '86 Cabriolet. These were built in the Scirocco facility (years '85 thru '93 I believe). For correct wiring as well as other issues with your '86 VW Cabby purchase the "Volkswagen Cabriolet, Scirocco Service Manual" from Bentley Publishers.com, Stock Number VS93.

What is your 1985 Corvette trying to tell you when your turn signal and hi-beam indicator are lit but no display area lights on control panel?

I have an 85 coupe that suffered from the same problem. The rsult was having to pull out the cluster and ship it off for repair ($350). DJ I just bought a 1987 Corvette Coupe and had the the same problems with the cluster. Only half of the panel was lit up but the gauges worked. I found a website called Mr. Whizard Technical Services out of Winnipeg Mantoba that was great to work with. On the website there are instructions on how to remove the instrument cluster yourself and instructions on how to send it to them. They sent a UPS pickup label prepaid and had it repaired and sent back to me within a week. They fixed the cluster so it looks and works like new again with all the color displays and lights working and they did for only $200.00 a lot less than anywhere else I found. They did what they promised and on time. I recommend them to anybody with an instrument cluster of any make of auto. This is my first Corvette and am waiting for summer to have fun.UPDATE I am currently having the same problem with my 1988 35th Anniversary. But...This is not the first time, I've seen it happen 2 times before over last few years. It usually goes away, so I believe its a short or bad connection. Tends to do it more in the summer when its hot (Arizona). I am currently working on this issue.
