Note that before you start, it is recommended that you disconnect the battery from the vehicle to prevent any electric shocks or other malfunctions.
Tools needed include a 10 mm bolt driver/socket wrench, gloves, and a Phillips #2 screwdriver.
The assembly/reassembly instructions are at the end. But, basically, you remove the 2 Phillips screws at the top of the black dashboard trim, then you remove the lower panel below the steering wheel with four 10 mm bolts. Once the lower panel is removed, you must pop out the small trim around the ignition switch before you take out the black trim near the instrument cluster. Remove that by pulling it towards the steering wheel. After that is out, remove the 4 Philips screws near the corners of the instrument cluster. Then pull the instrument cluster out of the dashboard and disconnect the 4 wiring harnesses to fully remove it.
*Please do not attempt to work on the instrument cluster while it is plugged into the wiring harnesses.
