Dashboards

i need help in finding the fuse for my 2000 gmc safari

On the aftermarket, I'd say a Sherwood Molded dash kit. Not too big of a fan of their flat wood dash kits but their molded ones are truly exceptional in all aspects because they wrap around each original trim part making it look as if it was factory installed. A good place to pick one up is at LGT Automotive - www.lgtautomotive.com - 1.866.410.3274 Hope this helps. Ciao, Trevor M.

You don't have to remove the whole dash to replace the bulbs. You only have to remove the individual componets that are illuminated, like the heater control head and instrument cluster. Each piece will have a bezel or trim piece around it. You will have to study each piece to see if there are any screws, but you may only need to pry it loose. If you don't see any screws, carefully pry just a little bit on each corner of the trim cover to see if it comes loose fairly easily. Once you get each trim bezel off around the item you want to remove to replace the illumination bulbs, then there will be four 7mm screws on the heater control head, and there will also be four 7mm screws on the instrument cluster. As you remove each item, unplug the connectors, and turn it over to reveal the little bulb sockets. Each socket comes out with a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to remove it.
This is a tricky job. I have no idea why Ford buried the console access under so much junk, but there you are. First, remove the upper and lower steering column shrouds. Then you must remove the radio. (I know, sounds crazy, right?) If you're unaware of the procedure for this, find some long nails that roughly match the diameter of the four holes and insert them. Inserting the nails releases some clamps, allowing the thing to come loose. Once the radio is out and disconnected, undo the four bolts holding the surrounding plastic (black, runs to steering column). Now you should be able to unbolt and remove the duct covers surrounding the dash. Remove and unbolt the dash meter unit. You'll have to disconnect the cable that links the gearshift to the gear display (It's just a loop that unhooks). The whole thing will pull out enough for you to unplug the electrical leads and separate the whole thing. From there, it's just a matter of replacing burned out bulbs. Don't forget to recalibrate the gearshift cable upon reconnection!



Pull the dash off and then the instrument panel off and it is connected to the back of the instrument panel itself, easy to do but a lot of work. Or if you have a desired color that you want in your instrament pannel, go to auto zone and the have these flexable strip lights you can wire into the headlight swich, its a little easier and it looks cool too!!!

pop the cover take 4 screws out & put your new 1 in

Minimum approach speed at max load, Vs X 1.3

take your VIN in to a Holden dealer, they should be able to get the PIN if the radio was originally fitted to your car. If it is no longer on file or if the radio belonged to another car originally the radio will need to be removed and the serial number sent to Holden along with your VIN. That can be expensive tho, might be worth looking at a new radio if PIN for yours is not available.

No plastic is used as glue, though some components may be the same in each other.

it is a component of the alarm system

This was quite a task the first time I did it, but by the 3rd time I was a pro. I used a Haynes manual to help give me an idea with the pictures they use. You need to start by taking out the center console then removine the center dash trim piece and removing the Radio/CD or tape player. Which will give you access to another screw to remove the center dash piece. Then remove the AC controls. Then remove the glove box. Next you remove the lower knee dash on the drivers side and both kick panels. On top of the dash you will need to pry out the defroster grill.

Once all that is out of the way lock your steering wheel. and you will remove the bolt for the steering linkage from under the dash. Then you have 3 screws on the top of the dash to remove and 3 bolts and a nut on the bottom 2 per side to remove.

That will pretty much get it out except for any wiring that you may need to undo or remove. The harness is really scattered throughout the dash.

I didnt need to completely remove the dash just enough so I could get the A/C and heating box out to replace after it got cracked from and accident.

Hope that helps!

I had the same problem with a Hyundai Accent 1996. You need to disconnect the speedometer inside the front hood.

most of the time the dimmer switch on the 240sx goes out if you take off the switch and wire the 2 wires all the way the the driverside the gauge lights should work

To remove sticky residue from a plastic dashboard, start by applying a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap to a soft cloth, then gently scrub the area. If the residue persists, try using rubbing alcohol or a dedicated adhesive remover on a cotton ball, testing it first in an inconspicuous spot to avoid damaging the plastic. Wipe the area clean with a damp cloth afterward and dry it thoroughly. Always follow up with a plastic-safe protectant to restore shine and prevent future buildup.

The red light on a vehicle's dashboard typically indicates a serious issue that requires immediate attention. It can signal problems such as low oil pressure, overheating, or a critical malfunction in the braking system. Drivers should stop the vehicle as soon as it's safe to do so and investigate the cause, as ignoring the warning could lead to further damage or safety hazards. Always refer to the vehicle's owner manual for specific meanings of dashboard warning lights.

The Land Cruiser LJ78 can be fitted with a variety of dashboards depending on the desired functionality and aesthetic preferences. Common options include the original factory dashboard, which features essential gauges and controls, as well as aftermarket dashboards that may include modern infotainment systems, enhanced gauges, and additional storage compartments. Custom dashboards can also be designed to accommodate specific needs, such as off-road navigation and enhanced climate controls. Ultimately, the choice of dashboard will depend on the owner's requirements and style preferences.

Yes, the 2010 Isuzu D-Max typically has a plug under the dashboard for connecting a brake controller for a trailer. This plug is usually located near the steering column or the driver's side footwell area. However, it's essential to consult the vehicle's manual or a professional to ensure proper installation and compatibility with your specific brake controller.

To stick something to your dashboard, you can use adhesive putty, double-sided tape, or adhesive hooks designed for automotive use. Velcro strips can also be effective for items you may want to remove easily. For a more permanent solution, you could use super glue or a strong adhesive specifically formulated for automotive materials. Always ensure that the adhesive you choose is safe for the dashboard's surface to avoid damage.

To remove a Peugeot 309 dashboard, start by disconnecting the car battery for safety. Next, carefully remove any screws or clips securing the dashboard, which may be located around the instrument cluster and under the dashboard. Detach any connected components, such as the radio, climate controls, and wiring harnesses. Finally, gently pull the dashboard away from the mounting points and remove it from the vehicle.

Padded dashboards in automobiles enhance safety by reducing the force experienced by passengers during a collision. According to the impulse-momentum principle, the change in momentum (which relates to velocity and mass) is equal to the impulse applied (force times time). Padded surfaces extend the time over which the momentum change occurs, thereby reducing the peak force experienced by occupants. This minimizes the risk of injury by allowing a more gradual deceleration during an impact.

To disable the keypad kill switch on a 1997 Lincoln Town Car, first, locate the keypad on the driver's door. Enter the factory code, which is typically found in the owner's manual or on a card in the glove compartment. Once the code is entered, press the "Unlock" button on the keypad, and this should deactivate the kill switch. If you don't have the factory code, you may need to consult a dealership or a qualified locksmith for assistance.
