Removing And Replacing Dash Cluster

[Beef]

hey boys

just need to know how to remove and replace a dash cluster, my backlights are not working properyl, i think there is a short somewhere.

I have bought another Dash cluster from a friend with about 30,000kms more than what my car actually has but at least this one will work...

is it as simple as just unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one? or will i need to re-calibrate it?

How do i get the dash cluster out in the first place? is it hard?

It can't be that hard to just start taking screws out, and yes it just unplugs and you're away. That said if ALL of the lights are out the problem is probably elsewhere. Check your fuses and other wiring.

Easy Job. Take out the couple of screws behind you ash tray and start unclipping the centre console and dash, remembering to unplug climate control, clock and so on along the way. Then unscrew the cluster surround then the cluster itself. Hard job to stuff up really.

Had similar problem and the wires had come loose from the dimmer switch where it joins the dash cluster.

You probably have to pull out the cluster to see the wires.
