Disconnect the negative battery terminal first. There are three screws on the bottom of the wood grain trim panel. Two of them are located left of the steering column and the third on is on the right of the column. Inside the left A/C outlet, towards the top, is a fourth screw (you should be able get it with a long skinny driver, but if not you have to remove the A/C outlet grill). The last two screws are on the right and left side of the speedometer housing. Once all of the screws have been removed, the top of the panel can be pulled out of the way.

Helpful tips: 1. The screws holding the switch in place are 7mm, and it's easiest to reach them with a 1/4 drive ratchet wrench.

2. Tilt the steering wheel all the way down

3. Have a strong magnet. The panel can't be completely removed this way and if you drop a screw behind it, there is no way of reaching it from above. The bottom of the panel can be pulled out enough for the screw to come out, and the magnet can be used to pulled the screw toward the opening.

4. Magnetize your screw drive (by running a strong magnet from handle to tip, several times). It will make it easier to get the screw in and out of the A/C duct, without removing the grill.
