Remove the plastic tray that holds the ashtray. It pops straight up and has 4 or 5 connectors underneath that have to be disconnected. With this removed you will be able to see the two lower screws that hold in the radio surround. Remove these.

Remove the steering column cover. It has 3 screws that hold it together from the bottom. Pay attention to the screws, as they are different.

Remove the 1 screw that holds the bottom of the gauge cluster. It is located below and to the left of the cigarette lighter.

Pop the cluster loose. I do this by pulling the cluster straight toward you. It has 3 clip that hold the back on, these can be kind of tricky to get loose. I also put a rag on top of the steering column as is has some sharp metal edges exposed that you do not want to scratch the gauge cluster. You do not have to remove the cluster from the car. You can get to the 2 top screws holding in the radio surround by just moving the cluster out of the way.

Now that the 4 screws holding in the radio surround are removed. Take the surround out of the car. It has 3 connectors for the heating and A/C that have to be disconnected as well.

I also removed the heating and A/C control unit from the radio surround as well; this made it easier to work with.


hope that helps
