Dash light out, Dashboard removal Q's - Hyundai Performance Forums

Dark_-_Star · 03-21-2002, 01:36 PM

I just realized last night that the light behind the dash on the spedo side is out. (First night ive driven it since i bought it on Friday) Does anyone know how long on average it usually take to get the dash apart and get at those suckers and if they ran into any problems allong the way or any special tools are involved to get the dash off?

it takes 5 minutes... you only need a pohillips screwdriver...

you pull out the to plates , one on right(at right of clock), the other one a the left of dahr.. pull out the two screws, pull out the 2 screws at the top of cluster crate.. Take it off..

on the cluster there's 4 screws to remove.... After thet, pull gently on the cluster and disconnect (if needed) the 4 connectors at the top of clusters... <img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>

Dam thats easy... I was figuring some hugely complex thing where there was 237129309 snaps holding it in place so id have to rip apart the whole interior.

I did that with my DSM only in the rear replacing my hatch struts. Thinking id only take 10minuts for both of them quickly turned into a 1.5 Hr job

Thanks man, greatly appreciated
