Best Answer

First, disconnect the battery ground, and place the steering wheel in the lowest position. Remove the plastic trim on the left side of the light switch, then remove the light switch by pushing the plastic catch to the left of the switch. Remove the trim to the right of the cluster, exposing two screws that are also to be removed. Remove the screws securing the instrument cluster, then tilt the cluster downward to disconnect the electrical plugs. The cluster can now be easily removed by pulling it directly out of the opening.
