First off, disconnect negative battery cable. Then push your hand inside the shifter boot, and pull the panel that the shifter is in out. The whole front panel is in two parts, and the lower part will pull out. Go slowly here, firm pressure should get it out for you. Once you have the panel out, look at the lower part of the top panel (the one with the radio and ac vents). You should see two screws at the bottom, remove those. Now start pulling the entire upper panel out of the dash. The whole upper panel will come forward, disconnect the wiring for the climate control and you should then have enough room to get the radio out. Word of advice on disconnect of radio-make certain you have anti theft code or radio will not work if reconnected.

∙ 14y agoI just had to remove mine to replace a heater switch... Pull out cup holder and remove two screws. then, You have to remove the lower storage compartment or DVD player if you have it, cigarette lighters etc, then you can access the two screws under the cupholder now the face plate is loose and can be removed. There are tabs on the top, so tilt out from the bottom first. Good luck

∙ 14y agoIf you are referring to the factory installed radio the simple answer is you can't. The face is not removable, it is an integrated part of the unit. If it has stopped working, you have three choices: 1) go see the dealer and pay big $$$, 2) order an aftermarket radio from one of the many online or brick and mortar stores--make sure you also get an installation kit and harness ( or have them do it for you) ;3) removed the factory radio and ship it to united radio for repair (you can Google them for the web site- unitedradio.com i think)

I found the easiest way to do remove the woodgrain faceplate is to take a small scewdriver, and bend the end of it until it is hooked shaped, then put the hook behind the faceplate one corner at a time, slowly pulling out until each corner pops loose. Its the best way I know how, I have took many off this way with no damage to the faceplate.

Remove the ashtray, and you will see two Philips head screws. Remove the screws and you will be able to pull the climate control faceplate off the dash. Be careful not to break the tabs on the top sides of the faceplate or pull too hard or you will break the cables that operate your vents. You will have to pull the white plug off the clock behind the plate and the smaller black plug that operates your hazard switch. From there you can see the screws holding in the radio, remove those, the antenna wire and the white plug that is for your power and your speakers.
Remove radio on 1993 Ford Escort?
I have a '94 ford escort. To remove the factory radio you need a special tool that inserts into the pairs of holes found on the right and left sides of the radio. Once the tool is inserted, you will hear a "click" and be able to remove the radio. If you can't get the tool, you could try using something that will fit into these holes. You need to be able to insert something at least a few inches inside to disengage the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is not complicated like a key, it just needs to be depressed to release.
