Dashboards

That is strictly a matter of opinion. A good way of deciding what you like is by taking your car to an upholstery shop and asking them if they have some samples to look at and take them out to you car and look at it. Another way is go to an auto paint and trim shop and ask the same question. It will be your decision and you need to make sure it is right for you. A few suggestions would be black or dark gray, or a shade of red either darker or lighter. These colors compliment the maroon rather than clash or disappear. White looks good on many colors also.

If you are buying a brand new car you are left with what the manufacturer offers but they usually have a good selection of colors.

very hard to do. are you sure the door is frozen? maybe the duct is electricaly controled, in which case you have to find out why the control is not working. dodges are famous for the heater control contacts burning up. maybe check that?

Damper/vent doors/actuators difficult and expensive to get to. I have a defroster vent on my 1999 Silverado 1500 that wont open. May be a bad actuator, stuck vent due to filth or an small foreign object that has fallen down inside the exhaust windshield vent. I thought the problem was the temp/fan control panel on the dashboard which I replace for $149.00. I was wrong. Tried looking underneath the dahsboard to see if I could find problem. No way. Went to dealer. They want $180.00 to troubleshoot. Cost could soar up to $900.00 due to removal of instrument panel to correct problem. This cost assured because knowledge of the related problem with my type and year of truck. There is no easy way to see what is wrong due to compactness of components underneath the dash. I checked out other service centers, and basically the same.

If anyone has had experience in removing a dash and correcting my problem, I would like to see there suggestion on this site.

Dont think so. Its a different size truck as far as interior goes.

your power stearing fluid is low or the power steering system is bad.

It's quite easy to do IF you can find spare bulbs. the dash hood is simple to remove. It's clipped on along the edge nearest the windscreen and should lift without difficulty. Underneath this there's a plastic protective sheet and beneath that is the circuit board. the dashboard lights are small bulbs which are attached in housings here. You simply remove them by twisting them 90 degrees and replace with a new bulb. (The bulb casing is hexagonal and you cannot fit a circular one into the same hole, so check that your replacement is exactly the same as the one you removed)

There are tiny hex head bolts underneath the front hangover portion of the dash pad and there are ones at the top in the vent. Unbolt them all and she'll come right out.

First your going to need a wire harness and an installation kit that you can pick up from any audio store. Just make sure that it is the right kit your best bet would be to ask a sales as. which one is correct. Then there are a few tuts. on the internet on how to take the dash off. The other thing you will have to watch out for is if your audio system is already Bose you will more than likely have to have the WHOLE audio system rewired because of the factory AMP. Bose runs at 2ohms and almost all others run at 4ohms. My problem with this is that the front driver side would play 10x louder than all the other speakers. that is where a good local audio store comes in handy. They would do the whole process in about 2 hrs and for approx. $100. but if it is Bose and rewiring is involved more like $150 - $200 for install alone.

Status access......... ideally in real time

in the fuse panel.drivers side of dash.

Press and hold down the two outside buttons, releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash. Positiion the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1-3 inches away from the homelink buttons. simultaneously press and hold both the desired button on homelink and hand-held transmitter button. Only release the bottons when the indicatior light starts flashing faster. It will start out slowly then quicken. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete.

takes alot of time and isn't worth it!!! anyway theres bolts every where mostly on the sides just pull on the side of the dash a little bit and look for a bolt that's holding it in..up at the bottom of the windshield under those plastic peices on the inside of the car theres alot of bolts/screws that hold it in,on the bottom sides theres alot just have to look theres no real way to explain unless someone is in the process of doing it and they take pics..do a search on yahoo or Google,or go to civic forums,if your doing it to paint it its easyier to just tape off the windshield or take the windshield out serously!! ~Marcus

My guess is somebody probably spilled some liquid down from the cupholder. It got into the switch and is preventing contact. Remove the center console and get the the switch located at the base of the lever. Clean it out with some electrical cleaner and it should start working.

Yes should fit but would be wrong as the 68 had square holes in the dash for gauges and the 69 had round also radio would be a little different. Also possibility that the vents would not line up correctly

Press it in, if it does not heat up then it's not working.

The tachometer cable may be faulty. The tachometer sensor, on the side of the engine might not be functioning properly.

NO. Do not attempt to do so, as the bumper will be extremely unstable.
