How do you remove the dashboard in a Chevy Blazer 1997?

I just had to do that myself to replace the flasher.(not knowing where it was) There are several snap like screws that are on the back of the dash. I started on the drivers side and worked my way over. There are two I believe right at the end of the left of the dash where the a/c vent is. It took a little pressure to get them to release, so be careful!!! I also had to drop the steering wheel down as far as it would go to get the dash out from behind it. It's alot easier to put back in!! Good luck.

How do you remove the center ac vents on a 1999 Toyota Corolla?

http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs/Toyota/PDF/869001.pdf#search=%22toyota%20corolla%202000%20remove%20radio%20panel%20%22 This will give you good instructions -- it's very easy and requires 2 thin flathead screwdrivers. There are 2 slots at the bottom edge of the trim ring surrounding the radio and the vents -- wiggle a screwdriver into each of them and gently pop the trim ring loose. Work your way around to the sides and top with your fingers and the whole vent/radio trim ring will come away. 3 connectors hold the buttons/clock on, but you have enough slack to get the panel up and over. Just did this now myself, so i can vouch for it. Dan

How do you change a dash light bulb?

I suppose you are talking about a car. You will have to take it to a garage if you dont know what your doing.

~More~

Maybe we can explore this a little further since the first responder gave

only minimalist information.

While I have no intimate knowledge of your vehicle, we can pretty much

assume that either you'll have to crawl under the dash and feel around for

the bulb socket, IE: use the force, or you'll have to remove some of the

dash trim and the gauge panel to access the back of it. If you can tell us

the make and model of your vehicle, maybe one of the others, who knows more than you and I, will pipe up with specific instructions.

If nothing else, I heartily suggest picking up a Haynes or Chilton manual

for your vehicle. If you're starting to have

little problems surface, a manual can help you solve a myriad of problems!

Jeep soft tops last around 3-5 years. The figure may vary, based on a number of factors. If you drive with your Jeep top on most of the time, it is going to wear down faster than someone who does not drive as much. Your environment also determines how harsh the elements are that your Jeep top has to combat. If you don't properly store your vehicle or the soft top, it could shorten its life, and a number of other factors.
