Title: Pulling the Instrument Panel
Time: 30 minutes Difficulty: 3/10
Vehicle: Pathfinder Author: wiredgeek.net
Instructions

**Removing the Panel: **

1) Tilt the steering wheel down as far as it can go


2)

Unscrew the following 5 screws: 3 on the top of the plastic bevel, and 2 on the bottom "arms" of it (to the right and left of the steering wheel)
3)

Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the top of the bezel out from under the dash board. Pull the bezel out CAREFULLY -- it is easy to break, but also
easy to pull out if you are carefull.
4) Do not yank on the bezel, it is connected with a number of electronic clips. Disconnect each of the clips (its easy to re-coonnect them and
figure out which one goes to which..
5)

Now that you have the bezel out, there are 4 screws that hold the actual instrument cluster. 1 on each corner. Unscrew those.
6)

Pull the guage cluster out carefully -- they arent cheap! -- and similar to the bezel, disconnect the connectors carefully. **

Replacing the Bulbs:


1)

Once you have the panel out, the bulbs are located on the back of it.
2)

Each of the bulbs is attached to a blue "screw-in" connector. Pull out the one that you want to replace, pull the bulb out and snap in the new bulb.
3) Put the connector back in the panel. Your done!
