Dash Removal

2002 Dash Removal

1.  The vertical panel in front of the passenger is attached with velcro and you lift and pull to remove it.  There are two small slots on the bottom lip to give you a grip.  Lots of fuses behind this one.  And the calibration reset for the Audit monitor system.

2.  The right-hand horizontal panel is held on with screws through the grab handle and then velcro. 

3.  The next vertical panel to the left is attached with screws at the bottom and velcro at the top–it removes the storage compartment door.  Be careful–mine is cracked.  Nor sure if I did it or it was like that before I started.  I’ll probably try to repair with some epoxy before I reassemble.

4.  The back and bottom of the storage compartment can be taken apart with screws in the two panels. 

5.  The center horizontal part of the dash is attached with velcro. 

6.  The back of the instrument cluster is just a press-fit and can be removed (with care) by prying and twisting the plastic cover. 

7.  I have not removed the left-hand horizontal cover behind the instrument cover but it appears to be just velcro. 

8.  The front driver kick panels are held in place with screws and velcro.  The only panel I have not been able to remove fairly easily is the one just to the right of the accelerator pedal.  It appears to need some screws removed in the instrument cover to the right of the Audit monitor and I haven’t been able to figure out how to get to them.
