1. Take 3 screws off the wheel shaft cover
2. Take 2 screws off the lower dashboard cover (underneath your wheel/top of your knee). There are 1 on each side next to the hood puller.
3. Lower the wheel to the lowest possible
4. Start pulling the cluster cover from the top left all the way to the right (all on the top)
5. Carefully pull the left side right next/below the AC ventilation
All of the cover use metal/plastic clip except those 5 screws.
If you got hard time removing the cover, use flat screwdriver to pry it (use cloth to cover the tip to avoid scratch)
Good luck

how to change fuel pump from 2002 xterra
You need to remove the instrument cluster.
You must remove the instrument cluster to do so.
If the instrument cluster on a 2002 Envoy is not working, check the fuses. There is a main fuse for this under the hood on top of the battery.
This is caused by a flawed design is the instrument cluster of 2002 model Volkswagen Beetles. It is a common problem that can be fixed by replacing the instrument cluster with one made after 2002.

This is cluster failure! The instrument cluster will need to be replaced this is usually done by certified Mercedes repair facility
Instrument Panel Lamp Procedure per Prizm Shop Manual This procedure only applies to cars with tilt steering wheels. Prizms without tilt wheels are infinitely more difficult because you have to disable the airbag system and remove the trim covers from the steering wheel. Important: The ignition switch must be in the OFF position when removing the instrument cluster assembly. 1. Tilt the steering column down in order to gain the necessary clearance to remove the instrument panel cluster trim plate. 2. Remove the two screws that secure the instrument panel cluster trim plate. 3. Disengage the two lower clips (hidden) 4. Gently remove the instrument panel cluster trim plate from the instrument panel assembly. 5. Remove the three screws which secure the instrument panel assembly, pull out the assembly carefully. 6. Mark the the 4 electrical connectors where they connect to the cluster assembly so that you remember which connector went to which socket 7. Disconnect the 4 electrical connectors from the cluster assembly 8. Remove the instrument cluster assembly 9. Remove the instrument cluster retainer with the instrument cluster lens attached from the instrument cluster case by releasing the 8 locking tabs. 10. Remove the cluster bulb socket from the instrument cluster case by turning in a counterclockwise direction. Remove the old bulb from the socket and replace the bulb. 11. Reverse the procedure to reassemble NOTE: This is such a convoluted procedure you should replace all bulbs while you are this deep into it. Trust me, the other bulbs will soon go bad. Incredibly, the shop manual does not list the part number of the bulb. Note 2: It is easier, and you are less likely to break the trim plate, if this is done while the dash is warm and therfore more flexible. Like parked in the sun for a while before starting. Also, the bulb is a #194, and you will want to get green colored "instrument bulb boots".
Below the instrument cluster is a trim piece that goes across the width of the instrument cluster. Remove the 4 screws then remove the trim piece. Remove the screws that retain the instrument cluster, then carefully pull the instrument cluster STRAIGHT BACK. The instrument cluster plugs in to a matching socket in the dashboard. Be certain that the pins do not get bent. It's a good idea to replace all of the bulbs once one burns out. The rest will be failing soon. There are two types of bulbs used in the dashboard, they might only be available at a GM dealership. Replace all of the bulbs. Carefully push the instrument cluster back into the dashboard, then test the lights and make certain that the instruments and indicator lights work before putting everything else back together. Replace the trim ring around the instrument cluster. Replace the bottom trim piece... Done. ... at least, that's how it works on the 2000 LS
Where it would be regularly but behind a splash guard you have to remove
this is my own answer,no airbag will be ok, the only problem is you have to reprogram instrument cluster and ford are the only one that can do this at a cost of £119.00+ vat.
