NOTE: Just about all the electrical connectors have
a release tab on them. DON’T just yank on the
wires, you need to press the lock tab before the
connector will pull out.
Once the electricals are unhooked, the centre panel
can be lifted clear of the console.
Now turn your attention to the centre panel in the top of the dashboard. (some models may have an
additional gauge binnacle here) This unclips by levering on the front edge – if you can’t get enough
purchase on the edge with your fingers, use a stubby flat blade screwdriver or similar. Be careful not to
scratch or mar the plastic panel. Once the clips at the front are released, then pull back to release the clips
at the rearward edge.
(Note: If the additional gauge binnacle IS fitted, this must be removed by levering up
the
rearward
edge – ie, the edge closest to you)
There are six screws holding the trim panel – four at the top (above right photo), and two at the bottom.
Remove these screws (you’ll need a stubby Phillips head driver for the two nearest the windscreen) and pull
the centre panel away from the dash. You’ll need to unplug the connector for the hazard switch, and those
associated with the electronic climate control where applicable.
